The prison in Shengguang City is empty than I thought. I never thought that the quality of modern people can be so high that the prison is empty, so the cells that are too clean and bright in front of me make me feel like a star hotel (and I really don’t want to admit that these rooms The facilities are better than my bachelor apartment)... Then the overly kind captain answered this question for us:

"This is a special cell for mages, but it's not common for mages to be locked up in a special cell these days. We always feel that maintaining this building with a very low utilization rate is a waste... Um, before arresting the two of you."

In response to his words, the guards looked at me and Mel curiously, as if we were some kind of precious cultural relics exhibited for a limited time.This kind of gaze accompanied us all the way, we walked through the corridor, passed through several security doors, and finally were brought into a cell that was hidden deep but had a lot of space... Considering Mel's "heavy reputation", So I guess these cells also have corresponding levels, this one is probably tailor-made for the legendary archmage?

"Don't worry." The captain said, "You probably won't stay here for long. Frankly speaking, destroying the Great Library is at most a security case, even if..."

He glanced at Mel, and I guess he meant to say that even if Mel was a black mage, he wouldn't get a heavier sentence for it.

Instead, I think the online reviews must be one-sided that Mel is cool.

Hmm... the popular black mage can really be considered a rare animal.

"...But we have to wait until we finish the appraisal. As you know, the losses caused by high-risk black magic, no matter how big, need to be reported... Well, but my visual estimation is that it will only be closed for a few days at worst, and then I will pay some money. Although the magic is dangerous, But after all, it’s just destroying the table and the ground, and it’s nothing compared to Archmage Madsen’s… well, great achievements. Well, we’re here, please come in.” The captain spread his hands and made an invitation gesture.

The guards opened the cell door—it was really complicated. They operated at least three layers of security instructions, swiped the biometric information of four people, and finally scanned the iris of the captain before opening the door and locking us in. After entering, there was another crackling sound of locking the door, and then a layer of electric barrier was opened, covering the cell.

Mel looked at it curiously, and said to me: "This security measure is really cumbersome."

"Holy Light City is the capital of the Oslant Federation, and the prison escape rate here is zero." I said, "The news is always touting."

"But frankly..."

Mel said halfway, and tilted his head, I understand what he meant very well——

After entering, we found that those complicated security locks were a waste of taxpayer money, and this cell was easy for us to get out of.

The anti-magic runes in our hands are considered foolproof by the members of Nova Shield, but in fact, their level... is a bit low, and they can't stop me from casting spells at all-the same spell is very different in the hands of the archmage and the apprentice. No, the runes are the same, this kind of shackle is not effective enough to ban my magic power flow, so the electric shock device of the magic technology is meaningless-because the runes are not effective enough, so I don't need to try to break through it, I can cast spells with it, and those nano-robots that claim to be intelligent will only do things according to the program. As long as I don’t try to take it off, the set punishment will not be triggered, even if I bring this thing to Raze the capital to the ground , the cute nanorobots are still motionless.

So no matter how advanced the technology is, it still depends on people to control it to be reliable.

As for the ridiculous finger cots, they don’t serve any purpose other than physically torturing the fingers. I’ve told Jasmine and the others about this before. A mage doesn’t need to dance around when casting spells, and he doesn’t have to turn his fingers out. Come on, gestures and incantations are not indispensable, and even both of them can be used. Only with the mind, a paraplegic and dumb mage can also cast superb spells.

"It's too heavy," Mel said, casting a levitation spell on the heavy flail.

Anyway, the members of the Nova Shield walked away, and I immediately used an anti-gravity spell, and the weight on my wrist, which looked like a dragon, suddenly became as light as a goose feather.

"It's really nice here." Mel said, "Look, the fully enclosed room is clean and tidy, very quiet and comfortable."

"The light is also very good." I said, "There are beds and seats, and there is enough space."

Mel's voice became brisk: "And the building materials are of high quality, and there is an anti-magic coating on the surface of the walls."

"They also provide food and water for free, an excellent place for magic practice!" He looked around and found a special pipe for distributing meals.

"The ground and walls are made of soft materials...Is this to prevent prisoners from committing suicide? It's very comfortable to step on, and you can rest anytime, anywhere! The fly in the ointment is that the wall facing the corridor is actually transparent...Hey, where are the guards? Well, the guards It would be great not to be on the lookout for 24 hours! This shortcoming can be ignored.”

Tsk, I didn't know that the prison in the Holy Light City is such a warm and pleasant place, suitable for learning magic!Referring to the friendly attitude of the soldiers guards, it is estimated that they have full respect for Mel, so this corridor is not guarded, and there is no need to worry about being watched.

"Yeah! It's great here." Mel nodded at me. "This reminds me of my teacher's mage tower. There are also safe houses like this in his tower, which are used for apprentices to practice high-risk spells. My teacher In the safe house, a fireball is thrown with only one spark, and the most dangerous death-death black magic accidentally hitting a person will at most cause an ulcer!"

I expressed my longing for this: "That is really a fascinating mage's tower!" The teacher of the archmage, his tower doesn't need to go in, I guess if I take a look at it from a distance, I will be too excited to speak.

"But that's also troublesome." Mel shrugged. "I practiced a lot in the safe house that suppressed magic power. In the early years, when I first went out, I always forgot to control it, resulting in excessive force."

"Like the spell that activates the shadows of all the orcs in an instant?" I asked, "That's really quite spectacular, it's a very amazing spell."

Mel blushed a little, and he said, "That was almost ten years ago, Sipe, you still remember it."

"You must not surf the Internet often." I said, "Your battle video back then was still the No.1 broadcast on major video sites. I have watched it too. The way you cast spells is really charming. My student is yours." Bratty fan—yes, that's what she calls herself."

Mel's cheeks were visibly flushed, and he smiled at me: "You look great just now casting the spell... well, ah, I mean, my students always say I'm an 'electronics buster' , after I broke the third smart computer she bought me, she stopped doing useless work."

"Well, each other, my students also said that I came from the 'legendary era'."

"What is traversing? Does it mean traveling through the star realm?"

"It should be about the same." I replied, "However, the young man at the age of my student talked about time travel in online novels. Literary effects are made up. Although the ancient mages have already confirmed the existence of the outer world - the astral world, there is still no reliable record to prove that someone can break through the plane, break the shackles of the world's laws, and enter the astral world .”

"The ancient mages referred to the astral world as 'void' or 'nothingness' again. Some space spells have indeed reached a bottleneck."

"Such as void transfer spell?"

Mel nodded: "Yes, the void transfer applied to the mage itself can transfer all the damage the mage receives during the duration of the spell to the void."

"But the mage's body is still on the main material plane." I said, "Except for that, there was no gossip news before that a certain emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire once traveled to another world by accident when he was young, and he didn't return until he was an adult." I'm coming back."

"Oh, there are still some giant dragons who knew the former emperor who are still alive. They really believe that the former emperor once passed through the astral world and went to other worlds. However, there has been no second case since then, so The academic circles have been arguing about this, and so far no point of view has won the approval of the majority." Mel replied, "If there is really a way to 'time travel', ah, here I mean the time travel of the online novel you just mentioned, then I You must travel to the legendary age and meet the legendary spellcasters of that year!"

"Then you must call me to go with you!"

We laughed together again. As mages living in modern society, it is normal to yearn for the legendary and colorful magic era. At that time, the Diana continent was barren but prosperous, and all races lived together here. On a beautiful and fertile land, human beings built a temple to serve the God of Light in the center of the continent. In the depths of the snowy mountains in the extreme north, under the rising sky of the black moon, hides the guardian in the dark, the Shadow Moon Temple; Mages with powerful spells and brave and strong knights walk together, pursuing knowledge and virtue, and leaving legendary deeds for bards to sing along the way; even legendary assassins hiding in the shadows, many of them insist on not killing righteous people Creed...

"Oh, but think about the good things." I said, "Technology still has its advantages. For example, I used the Internet to see your wonderful spellcasting."

Mel laughed, his shadow suddenly left his body, stood aside, and made a gesture of salute to me.

"Wow!" I startled, "So it's not black magic?"

"No, this is actually a neutral spell. After being awakened, the shadow will not only kill people. Its actions require instructions from the controller." Mel said, his shadow walked to the table and poured a glass of water. Give me, "Manipulating a shadow alone, I can continue to cast spells for about a quarter of an hour. I invented it to help me go downstairs to get things..."

I can't help laughing, such a cool mass destruction spell, its original intention is so warm and down-to-earth.

I pretended to say to the shadow: "Thank you!"

Mel said briskly: "I named this spell 'Shadow Dance'. If you want, I can teach you! It's not difficult, and you will be able to use it easily with your ability."

"!" I exclaimed, "Really, that's awesome! You're so generous!"

Mel bit his lip, seemed a little embarrassed, he quickly said: "Well... I like the magic shield you just used in the library, ordinary shields can only defend against physical attacks, but yours It can even compress the range of spell effects, which is really amazing!"

When he said that, I also felt the heat on my face. His eyes looking at me were surprisingly bright, like two blue magic crystals full of magic power, gorgeous and clear, which made me look into his eyes subconsciously. I was a bit reluctant to look away, so I said, "I invented it to prevent my students from throwing fireballs and blowing themselves up... I can teach you, too, it's not difficult!"

"That's great!" Mel said excitedly.
