Dr. Green Dragon

"Miss-Andorfi!"

"The Castle of Sleep!"

"Time and space are stagnant!"

Not far from Hellgate Fortress, under the ruins of the "Myth-Gorola" that had long been buried in the forest.

With the "Stone of Inheritance" sensing the subtlest level of elven magic, the three Countess Salia have entered an ancient tomb hidden by magic.

The tomb guards are indispensable in the ancient tomb of the elves.

However, with the presence of Countess Salia, with her mastery of elven magic, and even high elven magic, no amount of mausoleum guards could stop her.

With no difficulty, she took Hals and Lesaris into the deepest secret hall of the mausoleum.

Some ancient stone slabs with constant magical effects fell into their eyes.

And at a glance...

Countess Salia immediately stopped the two of Hals from looking closely.

She is too familiar with elves, especially ancient elf nobles, and the methods of elf high mages.

With just one glance, she has a judgment, what is constant on these ancient stone slabs is far more than just the guardian effect.

"Misleading interpretation!"

"Unscrambled, triggering a serial rune trap!"

"This should be the mark of the Milita family!"

"As expected, they were also involved in what happened back then!"

Countess Salia sneered after keenly identifying certain characteristics from the magical effect of the ancient stone slab.

The Mirita family, like the Dradrigis, is the oldest and most noble Sun Elf family from members of the First Council of Arivandar.

In the past, the Milita family, like them, was also marginalized in the elf court.

but……

They chose to accumulate family heritage and respond to changes at any time.

The Milita family chose...

Countess Salia recalled a little in her mind, and soon remembered.

The Milita family is not unresponsive.

On the one hand, they are continuing to endure in the court of the elves.

On the other hand, there should be another one, they retreated directly to Yongju Island!

Judging from the present situation, the one remaining in the elf court finally betrayed the old alliance of Arivanda.

However, Countess Salia did not feel resentful.

After being imprisoned for so many years, she has long been right. Many former "old allies" including the "Milita family" have long been suspicious.

After identifying the origin of the protective magic, Countess Salia held the "Stone of Inheritance" in one hand, and quickly "dispelled the magic".

What's more, her "dispelling magic" is not to completely dispel the magic effect on the stone slab.

Extremely delicate, like an art-like control of spellcasting, she manipulated the "Stone of Inheritance", with incomparable precision, from the heavy magical effects of the stone slab, she stripped the "Milita Rune of Misleading Trigger" separately .

Such spellcasting skills...

Lesaris, who was following her, even though he was a second-level mage, was fascinated by the sight, with a little aftertaste, and an unimaginable expression.

But Countess Salia doesn't care what he is like, let alone give him advice at this time.

After stripping out the "Milita runes" one by one, she immediately interpreted the information on the slate with "secret text analysis".

And just a little interpretation...

Visible changes, her eyes are actually wrinkling, and as the interpretation continues to deepen, it is still getting more and more dignified.

This change...

Hals and Lesaris felt it immediately.

That's all for Hals. Although he is an extremely powerful barbarian warrior, he is not a spellcaster after all, so it is difficult to directly interpret the information on the stone slab.

However, Lesaris immediately followed up with the interpretation.

"The Castle of Sleep?"

"Time and space stagnation?"

While reading, certain information floated up from the bottom of his heart.

He has always had a secret connection with Flossing and other families.

If he remembers correctly, the old fellow Varelmo should have mentioned that an ancient underground palace that should now be occupied by the demons of Hellgate Castle seems to involve "mystery" and "stagnation" !

There was a thought in his heart, and Lesaris didn't hide it.

The strength of that mystical lock is far beyond what he can handle. Even if that one is now called the "Unknown Dungeon", even this "Slumbering Fortress", he can only rely on this old ancestor. It is possible to lift that seal!

Immediately said: "Master Earl, I may have some clues about this sleeping castle. According to the information I have, there is an ancient underground palace, which is very consistent with this description..."

His description over there.

Countess Salia nodded slightly, agreeing that it was most likely where the "Slumbering Castle" was located.

However, even so, the seriousness of her eyes did not unfold at all.

Nor did he respond to Lesaris.

After reading all the slabs, Countess Salia slowly shook her head and turned around: "Perhaps the 'Unknown Dungeon' is the 'Castle of Sleep', but if the seal is really passed If the 'mysterious barrier' is realized by 'time-space stagnation'..."

Her eyes swept over the bald nephew and the descendant of the bamboo pole, her face was gloomy, and she continued: "'Time-space stagnation' is one of the most difficult manifestations of the 'Magic Lock Barrier', even for me, it is impossible Use the 'unique ritual' to remove it. Unless there are two more people who can work together with me to use the 'numerous rituals', it is possible to forcibly remove this space-time stagnation!"

Her words.

That's all for Hals, after all, he is not a spellcaster, so he basically doesn't understand it.

But Lezaris couldn't help changing his expression.

Even though the Dracrigis family inheritance he inherited has long been dilapidated, there are still some materials related to high magic after all.

He knew very well what the Countess meant by "two more people"!

This is not a spellcasting assistant in the simple sense.

The "Multiple Ceremony", this is a must for Master Gao and Master Gao to join hands!

And in the case of the demon elves, it has long been impossible to directly master high magic...

Lesaris couldn't help looking at the "Stone of Inheritance" in the countess' hands.

To realize the "Multiple Ceremony", this means that they must have at least three "high-energy cores".

Moreover, like the Countess, the other two must also have the ability to manipulate such a "high-energy core" to indirectly perform high-magic rituals!

this……

Thoughts flashed in Lesaris' mind again and again, but for a while, it was difficult to think of a way to realize them.

"It seems that there is only one way..."

Countess Salia grasped the changes in his mind very clearly, and basically had a judgment that the descendants of this bamboo pole did not have more solutions.

The gloom on his face was gradually disappearing.

That's right, with the "unique ritual", it is impossible for her to break the "stagnation of time and space".

Similarly, the "high-energy core" of Hellgate Castle is unlikely to have a chance of success for the time being.

but……

"Gatekeeper Crystal!"

"A fragment should have fallen into 'Avernas'!"

"The other one... is in the west, but it seems to be in the original plane, and it seems to have fallen into the capital of Afan... is Yongju Island?"

In the depths of Countess Salia's pupils, a certain thoughtful look was rippling.

Based on her understanding and mastery of the "Gatekeeper Crystal", as long as she can reorganize this elven holy artifact, she is absolutely sure that she can lift the seal of the "Slumbering Castle".

And according to the records here, there are more than 5,000 demon-born elves sealed in the "Slumbering Fortress", and it is worthwhile for her to invest in the "Gatekeeper Crystal" to rescue them.

It's just that she was willing to invest in it, but... at least she had to collect all the fragments of this holy artifact first!

And according to her vague perception of the other two fragments through the second fragment...

"Avernas is fine."

Although Bator Hell is extremely dangerous, those devils should not recognize the origin of the "Gatekeeper Crystal", and thus cannot use the ability of the shards. She still has a good chance of finding it quietly.

"But, if it's really Yongju Island..."

The Countess secretly frowned.

Of course, only the High Mage, or an ancient family like Dracrigis, can discern the ancient and secret nature of the gatekeeper crystal.

However, she can't guarantee that if the fragment really falls into Yongju Island, it won't fall into the hands of those who "know the goods".

On the side of Yongju Island, there are many ancient families, and Master Gao is even more impossible to date!

"No matter what, get back the one from Avernas first."

"Then... it's not that there is no further way!"

After pondering briefly in her heart, Countess Salia had some ideas.

It is actually not difficult to determine whether the third fragment has fallen into the hands of "people who know the goods".

When both the first fragment and the second fragment are in her hands.

If the owner of the third fragment can find it, he is obviously a "person who knows the goods". She just waits for him to deliver it to her door. Of course, since she can "know the goods" over there, she still needs to make enough preparations in advance!

And if there's no response... Then she's probably going to find a way to sneak to Yongju Island!

Others may not have a way to get to Yongju Island, but there are not one or two hidden magic doors that she knows!

With a quick decision in mind, Countess Salia raised her eyes and looked at the descendants of the bamboo pole: "Lesaris, the three major families of the order... eh? This is it?"

It is about to issue a call to the former follower family through the descendants.

Before she finished speaking, suddenly, the "Stone of Inheritance" in Countess Salia's hand trembled with aura, and almost immediately, her eyes also turned.

With some kind of astonishment and suspicion, as if he had penetrated all obstacles, his gaze was looking in the direction of Hell Gate Fort.

Immediately afterwards.

It turned out that Hals, the half-demon warrior, was the first, and then Lesalis, the demon-born elf.

The expressions of these two people are also strange and constantly changing.

An indescribable feeling arises from the depths of their blood, and it is unclear where it comes from.

"The blasphemy ritual!"

In charge of the "Stone of Inheritance", some kind of spiritual enhancement from the "Stone of Inheritance", and Countess Salia's own strong enough spiritual perception...

She is already facing the direction of the Gate of Hell. Although it is deep, it is even more unimaginable. At the same time, she is also familiar with the incomparable essence, the evil and desperate power of darkness, and she has a keen sense. This feeling is still getting stronger.

This is, although there are some changes, but it is very clear, it is the "blasphemy ritual" that corrupts the "high-energy core" that is unique to the "Dradrigis Family"!

Even, at this time and there, the intensity of this ceremony...

Surprised, suspicious, and then his expression changed again and again!

Countess Salia clearly sensed the intensity of the ongoing "blasphemy ceremony" at Hellgate Castle, the "power of darkness" that was being called...

Even among the many rituals she personally performed, none of them could have such intensity!

Of course, it's not that she can't do it.

Rather... the former her used more of this "blasphemy ritual" to transform and enhance the essence of "demon elves".

If she is willing to pay enough price...

At least the Dracrigis family back then still had the ability to perform rituals of the same or even higher intensity!

It's just that, whether it's her or the Dracrogis family back then, there is an "Eternal Covenant" with "Him".

But, right now, there should be only Ballow on the other side of Hell Gate Fort?

"The King of Demon Flames!"

"Angus!"

"Could it be...you also have a relationship with 'His'?"

"but……"

Her eyes flashed repeatedly, and Countess Salia felt a little unsure in her heart.

Back then, the "blasphemy ritual" she passed on to her family was incomplete at all.

Therefore, the "King of Demon Flame" should not be related to the three major follower families.

And based on the bloodline of the "Stone of Inheritance", the "King of the Demon Flame" also did not come from the Dracrigis family.

In this way, what she can think of, not to mention the only one, is at least the most possible... It should only be related to the blood of Drazorgis, directly related to "Him"!

But, if it really has something to do with "Him"...

Thinking back to the message from Myth Drano the day before yesterday!

What Lesaris explained, the connection between Myth Drannor and them is not the same as that of Hellgate Castle!

This doesn't seem right again!

If the "King of Demonic Flame" is really related to "His", there is no need for the Yugoloth to backstab, and it will not be wiped out by the "King of Demonic Flame" in turn!

Thoughts flashed in my heart, but the more I thought about it, the more confused my thinking became, and the more difficult it was to sort out the inside story.

Seeing the Hell Gate Fort, in a short period of time, the "Power of Darkness" has become as deep as the sea, and at the same time it has carried out the operation of "blasphemy"...

Salia took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the mist.

Looking at the descendants of the bamboo pole, he said, "I remember you once said that a branch of the Flossing family was the one who betrayed you and took refuge in Hell Gate Fort?"

Lesaris nodded in confirmation.

"Through her, secretly infiltrating, I want to know everything related to him!"

There was no charm in Countess Salia's eyes, and there was an incomparably fierce flame.

If that one is not related to "His", but can call that "power of darkness"...

This may be her further direction!
