Throne Steps

Chapter 205 What You See Is What You Get

"'Time Reappears'!"

In just a few seconds, light arrays began to flash on the rock.It really is a flash, because there is only one, and it is complex and gorgeous.The black swans could hardly see what it was, and two or three of them carefully identified it, but they didn't know the real face.

Only Menzel spoke long words in an airy voice that no one else could understand.

"Time Reappearance" lasted for about ten minutes, and the color of the three magic crystals began to become transparent. Menzel stepped forward and said: "Enough is enough, don't go any further. There has been no movement for so long, even if there are still in front, I am afraid it will be too late." It’s not something you can trace back to.”

Li Chen squinted his eyes, but he couldn't deny Menzel's conclusion, and ended "Time Reappearance".

He also saw the formation that just appeared, and it was clearly the work of a necromancer.The next ten minutes of silence probably meant that Menzel's guess was correct—there had been no magic fluctuations for a long time.

If the necromancer really came for the "dragon", even if there used to be magic related to the "dragon" here, it is not something that Li Chen has the ability to detect now.

Li Chen rubbed the magic crystal in his hand: "You just identified that formation..."

Menzel knew what he meant, and said with a wry smile, "Yes, I know, but the problem is, I can't complete this mantra without reciting it from the book."

In short, I still can't recite it.

Li Chen took a sip of the water that Fudexi handed over, and his mocking tone was even more unconcealed: "What use are you for?"

Menzel said helplessly: "Then you write it out, and I'll read it to you with all my might... At least I'm still 'literate'."

Li Chen snorted, threw three translucent magic crystals on him, watched him catch them in a hurry, and shook out three more.

Menzel looked at the magic crystal: "Unlock that...is this enough?" He looked Li Chen up and down again, as if recalling how much magic power this young man's talent could store, and then handed out his short staff , "If the magic crystal on your staff can't move, you might as well use mine."

Li Chen glanced at him, mocking his expression as if he had heard a joke: "It's in the way."

Menzel shrugged and stepped back.

"Everyone back up and stare here." Li Chen opened his arms to signal others to go back, then pointed to the rock, "I don't know what will appear and how long it will appear, but everyone must concentrate and play by ear !"

The black swans responded one after another.

Only the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the woods, Li Chen faced the rock and lowered his head.His eyelashes fluttered slightly, his lips kept opening and closing, and the difficult and obscure letters of the non-common language slipped through his mind, like a school of fish burrowing through the bottom of the water.

No one urged him, after a while, Li Chen finally raised his head.He twirled his wrist, took a deep breath, and pointed to the rock.

He opened his lips lightly again, and at the same time, the magic crystal in his left hand began to surge in color!

This time, the mantra made some breathy sounds, so light and fast that even Menzel had difficulty catching the words he should understand.Li Chen's eyes were fixed on his fingertips, and a "picture scroll" invisible to others was slowly unfolding in front of his eyes, and each stroke gradually became clear——

Soon, the nearly transparent magic crystal was thrown to the ground by him, and with a shake of his left hand, two new ones rolled into his palm.

It rarely takes Li Chen such a long time to complete a magic circle. Anyone who understands his abilities can guess what a complicated magic circle he is completing.

Finally, before the two magic crystals in his left hand were exhausted, Li Chen finished the last note and drew the last stroke with his fingers.

At the same moment, the truth suddenly came to light.

"...!"

What was hidden by the complicated formation was actually a carved character on a rock wall!The strokes are quite rough, and each stroke seems to be made by some kind of sharp weapon, but it is still clear under the corrosion marks of years and years.Each symbol is larger than the palm of a hand, so everyone can see it, but the trouble is, no one can understand what they mean.

Fudexi immediately shouted: "Record according to the position!"

No one to ask, to doubt, just to remember.Some people even drew out their daggers immediately, and while staring at the rock wall, they blindly carved on the tree trunk beside them.

There was still only the sound of wind caressing the leaves. After a quarter of an hour passed, the symbols on the rock wall disappeared instantly.

They didn't really disappear, but were hidden again by the complicated formation.

Li Chen, who had been tensing himself all the time, slackened a bit, and suddenly his legs softened so much that he almost knelt down, but he swayed a little, and the soldier standing behind him immediately stretched out his arms to catch him.

Fudexi and Menzel approached in twos and threes: "Why?"

"It's okay, it's just a little bit out of strength." Li Chen wiped his face, squeezed the few remaining magic crystals with his left hand, then took out a stack of paper and a few pens from the space, kept a copy for himself, and left The next thing was stuffed into Fudexi's arms.

"Let everyone restore what they wrote down, back to back, and don't look at other people's until it's finished."

Fudexi casually handed the pen and paper to the people behind, watched Li Chen wipe off the sweat on his forehead, frowned and said, "You rest first."

"No, I have to draw it quickly." Li Chen found a flat place to sit down, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then began to draw what he remembered.

Everyone was assigned a pen and paper, and drew what they remembered.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and everyone had stopped writing.

Menzel helped to recycle all the pens and papers and handed them to Li Chen.Li Chen took the pen and paper, singled out the one written by Menzel, and looked at his own.But he was not in a hurry to answer, he just stood up holding the paper.

Seeing his struggling, Menzel stretched out his hand to help him, but Li Chen asked in a low voice while approaching: "You know these things, don't you?"

Menzel paused for a moment, lowered his eyes with a slight smile, and replied in a low voice: "I don't know them...but I know what this is."

"what?"

Menzel leaned against Li Chen's ear and said in a low voice.

"It's Dragon Language."

Solved a mystery, but ushered in a bigger mystery, Li Chen felt even more irritable on the way back to Kunta base camp.

In addition, the power consumed by the two powerful formations needs time to recover, but there is no time to meditate at all along the way, Li Chen is mentally and physically exhausted.

Menzel, who recognized the "Dragon Language", assumed the primary responsibility of sharing his attention, and was mocked by Li Chen at every turn, "What's the use of you".Even if Menzel, who can't even recite the formation spells, can recognize the dragon language is already a "miracle", but he can only accept it.

When entering the Kunta base camp, Li Chen finally restrained his temper, at least on the surface it looked normal.

Kunta made an appearance at dinner that day.

"Your state is much more sluggish than your temple chief." When Saenz was not there, Kunta became bolder when he molested Li Chen, "What are you doing? Are you messing with Samuel again?"

Li Chen glanced at the wine glass held out by the other party, picked up his own and touched it: "It's nothing. Anything is a secret, you know."

Kunta watched him move his hands apart, and smiled: "You know, I like digging out other people's secrets the most."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes: "You seem to mean something?"

Kunta shrugged: "Guess?"

It would be meaningless to continue these words, Li Chen glanced to the side, and said: "Our temple chief's talent is so high, but you are so exhausted by you, so I have to ask you what you are doing."

"Look at people, Master Chief is really easy to use... I mean, it's amazing." Kunta didn't know whether it was intentional or inadvertent, changed the words, and continued, "According to the agreement, what he reads can't be revealed." Yes. But he’s seen it all... I can’t control who he’ll say something to, can I?”

Li Chen didn't believe this kind of rhetoric, such a contract must have a confidentiality contract.

However, Li Chen still tentatively said: "If you need to get some information in the alliance, you don't need to bring people back at all, and then let the general director go over the mountains and mountains? So... there is something wrong with your headquarters?"

Kunta squinted his eyes, but didn't pull his face down immediately, just replied lightly: "I can only say that some people may not obediently reveal everything to the chief, in order for the chief to display his talents smoothly, we always have to do some things first. Deal with it. But once it's dealt with... it may not be easy to move, do you understand?"

Those who can resist Wiggins, it seems that the guy who betrayed Kunta is at least not low in talent... Li Chen thought about it, put away the curiosity and jokes on his face, and smiled: "I understand."

The wine was filled and they clinked glasses again.

"There have been so many big news recently, I never thought I could sit and drink and chat with you like this." Kunta said with emotion, "I guess I will go to the hinterland of the alliance soon after you go out..."

The banquet was still the same as when Li Chen came for the first time, it was very lively and lively.

It was night, in the small courtyard where Saenz lived.

This place has been protected inside and outside by the black swan and the temple guards. Not to mention the people of Kunta, it is difficult for even a bird to fly over - after all, it is a relatively common way for birds to pass things, and you don't want to just let it go. What fun does a bird come in and out.

Li Chen drank a little smugly, but fortunately he could still maintain a trace of clarity before climbing into bed, but don't even think about taking a bath.Fudexi himself also smelled of alcohol, but his condition was better than Li Chen's, and he helped him take off his coat and shoes with a disgusted expression.

Then the half-elf struggled to find out about the situation of the guards, and then went to sleep in the next room.

The weather in the forest is unpredictable. In the middle of the night, dark clouds cover the bright moon, the rain presses down on the forest with rolling thunder, and lightning illuminates the earth.

Sleep better on rainy nights.The sound of majestic rain came through the window, and Li Chen even snored lightly.

Quietly, or in other words, under the cover of the heavy rain outside the window, the middle of the shelf in the room opened like a door, with the wall behind it opening inward.

A figure in a cloak appeared there, walking gently towards the bed through the room reeking of wine and rain.

Lightning flashed, and it seemed that a strand of silver hair could be seen leaking from the cloak.

The heavy rain covered up all sounds, and the cloak cut off all breaths. The man stopped one meter away from the bed and began to concentrate.

Lightning and thunder, talent and human ability, picture scrolls unfolded in his mind one by one.
