"When I met the group of death row prisoners, I thought about crushing this." Oakland said with a sigh, holding a translucent irregular spar between his slender fingers.

Ye Lin looked at him, "To be honest, the cost of holding A·M·S is quite high. This kind of memory magic crystal needs at least a thousand gold coins."

Garfield said angrily: "So what, it will be recovered at the end of the game. At most, it will only lose a few coins. The price is not as high as we imagined. You must know that the one who crushed the magic crystal is either really dead or will give up automatically." Competition qualifications, no idiot will crush it until it is absolutely necessary."

Xavier smiled softly, "Actually, when I was dealing with those prisoners on death row, I thought about killing them and destroying their corpses. I think they are more taboo than ordinary people to crush this thing, even if the recorded video is only 1 minute, But they can't hide the appearance that they want to kill us."

Ye Lin frowned, "Then after we do this, these Galsworthy guys will simply crush the magic crystal?"

"They won't until the last moment." Oakland said affirmatively, "They believers in the God of Light, but they have a lot of face, how could they give up so easily."

Casimir was chopping down trees, but because it was too hot, he was shirtless and showed his muscular body. After hearing this, he slashed again and then said viciously, "This is the best!"

Cassie, who thinks her temper is not too bad, felt quite unhappy about this competition, which shows that other people have.

"Is it here?" Archie carefully buried the magic crystal, feeling the special fluctuation of magic power.

Xavier nodded, he directed everyone to draw lines on this relatively flat slope, and took out magic crystals one after another and placed them in specific positions, "Time is running out, so I can only lay out such a simple magic circle , but it is enough to trap those guys!"

Everything must be perfectly arranged, Xavier is in charge of the magic circle, and Garfield is in charge of various traps and back arrows.

Over there, Oakland and Archie helped Xavier set up the magic circle, while Ye Lin and Kasimir helped Garfield toss in the woods. They almost wanted to mourn for their opponents. Ye Lin was surprised before, and Garfield was exactly like He is a mature thief, and the various traps and backstabbing methods arranged at this time are also quite clever.

"It's almost time?"

"I saw them!" Garfield's figure shot straight towards him like an arrow leaving the string, "Get ready!"

Xavier smiled slightly, and the crescent stone on the top of the staff in his hand exuded a soft light. A group of people coming up from the side of the forest saw the thick vines bursting from the ground, and they were not surprised or confused, obviously expecting it.

But no matter how long they expected it, they never expected that what greeted them was not such a simple ambush.

"They really have guts!" A tall and handsome paladin sneered, "I thought they would have taken advantage of this time to escape!"

"Run away? Don't forget that this group of little nobles also have their pride~" a magician wearing a hood sarcastically said, his strength is not bad, and in a school like Galsworthy where the ratio of nobles to commoners is almost half Here, it is inevitable to have some emotions towards the nobles.

Luo Lena said calmly: "Okay! Now is not the time to be noisy. Their strength is indeed commendable. It is better for us not to underestimate our opponents too much!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there were a few "swish swish swish", several black wooden arrows shot at them in unison, a paladin roared, and a holy light shield suddenly appeared in front of them. The wooden arrows were cut out temporarily, they were not very sharp, but they were not weak at all. Garfield used the tendons of the sixth-level monster Snake, and the elasticity was not so good.

Just one round of wooden arrows made the paladin couldn't help taking several steps back.

This made the students of Galsworthy High School immediately put away their contempt and feel awe-inspiring.

"It's really tricky, everyone be careful!" Lorena said lightly, "Goria, pay attention to your feet!"

The appearance of these wooden arrows was obviously because the priest named Gloria accidentally stepped on a trap buried under the leaves.

The petite pastor who was named lowered his head, "Yes."

But then everyone stepped on things that shouldn't be stepped on and touched things that shouldn't be touched one after another, and they realized that these overwhelming traps cannot be avoided by just paying attention.

"Bastards, are you rats in the gutter?!" a tall paladin roared.

Ye Lin sneered, "It's as if they are so aboveboard by bullying the few."

"How far is it from the magic circle?"

"Not thirty feet."

"Bring them here." Xavier frowned.

Garfield's swift figure flashed past, "I'll go."

In the dense forest full of traps, he is the only one who can come and go freely, even if it is a leafy forest, he may only dare to walk from the trees.

Even if these traps didn't cause them any serious damage, there were a few priests around, and the eighteen of them, apart from looking a bit embarrassed, actually didn't suffer much damage, but the aggrieved feeling that they couldn't see their opponents at all was indescribable , so when they saw Garfield's thin figure flashing past, they immediately chased in that direction!

"You are all dead!" said a certain swordsman who was so tormented with anger.

Xavier smiled coldly: "I really don't intend to let us go."

"Despicable and shameless, he probably wants to force us to retire." Ye Lin was not in a good mood, because he also saw the equipment on these people, especially the states that several priests gave to others were all power-adding effects Blessing, and the dark magician even put poison and curse on the swords of every swordsman and paladin.

Such an aggressive attitude is really too much.

Moreover, they are special compared to other teams, because of the presence of priests, they can keep their opponents alive and let them suffer without dying, which is really insidious to the extreme.

Xavier said softly, "It seems that the feast we prepared for them was not rich enough."

Ye Lin only felt a chill in his heart. People who really angered Xavier usually would not end well.

"Moonlight Bud?" Ye Lin's eyes widened.

Xavier smiled and said, "Well, only a little bit. Don't worry, Moonlight Bud is different from other hallucinogenic drugs. As long as it burns out, it won't even leave a trace or smell."

"What is Moonlight Bud?" Archie asked strangely.

Garfield pressed his head, "Don't ask too much!" He knew that this was a necessary material for making that kind of advanced hallucinogen, but he didn't know the details, "Will it leave any trace?"

"Yes." Xavier replied in the affirmative.

Oakland took a deep look at the boys and girls in white clothes, and smiled slightly, "The so-called psychedelic is nothing more than amplifying people's inner desires. If their beliefs are strong enough, of course they won't be disturbed by drugs, right?"

Only then did Casimir realize what it was, hesitated for a while and still didn't say anything.

After all, he didn't have such a strong sense of morality, and, to be honest, he was also annoyed by this group of sanctimonious believers.

The magic circle glowed with dazzling light. The purpose of this not-too-complicated magic circle was just to prevent the eighteen of them from getting out of the remote area on the top of the mountain.

A faint fragrance was blown into the formation along the wind, and a small piece of moonlight bud was burning slowly, although it was only such a small piece, it was enough to burn for two days.

In fact, such a small piece of moonlight buds can only be made into one or two sticks of hallucinogens. Unprocessed moonlight buds are not too effective. As Oakland said, if they have firm beliefs in their hearts, they should not be affected. The effect of this psychedelic effect.

But Ye Lin felt that the hearts of these believers were definitely not so firm. From their behavior, it can be seen that the God of Light will never teach them that they will repay more and bully less, right?

The six people resolved the worries, turned around and left with a sneer, and waved their hands without taking away a cloud.Ye Lin and Xavier dug Ur and Charlotte out of the monster's bag and started their treasure hunting career.

What they didn't know was that a small piece of Moonlight Bud would cause much more serious consequences than they had imagined.

These superficially holy and devout believers don't know how many dirty and dark thoughts are hidden in their hearts, so they can infinitely magnify their desires under this effect.

Only three days later, this shocking scandal ended when a girl priest crushed the memory magic crystal unbearably, and because the memory magic crystal was transmitted to the public space, all referees It can be seen, so that the consequences are so serious that even if the church tries to hide it, it cannot be concealed.

When Ye Lin heard about it afterwards, he was astonished as hell, these guys are really trendy, what kind of group sex party are they having in the wild...

If this happened to ordinary participating students, it would not be a big deal, after all, this continent has not yet reached the point of being so conservative and feudal. Uh, the old-fashioned thinking of Archie's family is still very different, even if it is Ah A woman like Mitty who retains the old aristocratic thinking has an illegitimate daughter like Meg. In terms of the relationship between men and women, even the world of magic and swords in the Western Continent is not as strict as in ancient China.

Seriously, half of those students are students of Galsworthy Theological Seminary, especially those female priests. They have long sworn to serve the God of Light chastity for life. sin is absolutely unforgivable.

Among them, there was only one young girl who kept her true heart with firm belief and watched this ridiculous promiscuity in disbelief. She was the pastor girl Gloria who was the most disliked leader of the group, Lorena.

This happened a few days later. At this time, Ye Lin and others were huddled in the tent to watch the sunrise facing the long yellow sand and the early morning light.

After tossing for almost a night, it was almost dawn when they got here, but they still decided to take a rest and set up a tent under the small hill near the desert.

"Hey, you said it was just a competition before the final, why did we get along so badly?" Ye Lin muttered.

Xavier leaned close to him, "If anyone comes to provoke us, we will smash them to death with a scroll."

After two difficult days, except for Xavier who used a magic scroll, none of them used the scroll reserves on their bodies. Ye Lin sighed in his heart, it seems that these guys haven't been forced to that extent...

After sleeping until noon, the six people got up and followed Ur and Charlotte to the desert under the sun.

"There is an oasis about twenty miles ahead in this direction." Xavier said after carefully reading the map.

On the third day of the game, all the teams should be nervous. It would be unwise to go to the jungle where the teams are relatively dense at this time. The yellow sand is endless. They stayed here for two full days without encountering other teams. Compared with the turmoil of the previous two days, except for the worse environment, there was nothing to worry about in the past two days, and the gold cups in their backpacks had gathered three reals and eleven fakes, filling a backpack full.

That's right, there are too many fakes, and the place where the gold cup is hidden is really cheating as always, such as the one that Ye Lin just took out from a bird's nest on a tree in the oasis.

"Someone!"

After two days, they finally ran into another team of contestants. Compared with the refreshed Ye Lin and others, these six people looked a bit embarrassed. It seemed that they had suffered a lot in the desert. But difficulties will also make people grow. Although these boys and girls look not in good condition, their mental state is not very bad.

So, when the gentle and kind Xavier came forward to negotiate with them and kindly gave them a "golden cup", these children who had never thought that there was such a thing as a "fake" gold cup were immediately grateful, and soon disappeared from their sight.

"Ah, what a pity, this is the first team to be counted." Oakland said lightly.

At this time, Wu Er suddenly kept "cooing" excitedly, pulling Ye Lin's trousers, trying to lead him to a certain direction.

Ye Lin frowned, "What's the matter?"

When the six people followed Ur to the north, the team that had already gone far stood on the sand dune, looking at their figures.

"Hey, what a coincidence, I really went in that direction."

"Well, they are unlucky..."

"Captain, isn't this too good? After all, they are good people, and they gave us the gold cup..."

"They are good people, but the competition is a competition. They are trapped there. Unless they crush the memory magic crystal and let the mentors come to rescue them, they will not be able to get out with their own strength. Of course, they will not be able to pass the competition."

"...It feels a bit despicable..."

"Can you think of a better way? Or do you have the confidence to defeat the Jincan Jincan Jincan team? Don't forget! We came here for the championship!"

"...Captain, we didn't know that there are too many masters in the Anya Continent until we participated in this competition. Even—even if they fail to pass, we may not be able to win..."

"It's good to have an extra chance."

"team leader……"

The wind and sand obliterated their voices, and the faces of the young boys and girls who were still a little green inevitably had complicated expressions. It was the first time for them to do such a thing, especially when they stared at the golden cup in their hands, they still felt a little guilty after all.

"They'll be all right, won't they, Captain?"

"Well, didn't we explore the way? There shouldn't be any danger there, but it's probably hard to get out of the black hole below. The instructors will have a way."

"Why is there such a place in the desert?"

"Who knows, I've used magic to cover up that piece, they shouldn't find out—ah!"

"It fell..."

That's right, in their sight, after the six people stepped on the sand, a large desert collapsed, and the six people were soon submerged by the sand tide and disappeared without a trace.

"...Captain, are they really going to be okay?" A girl was worried.

"Probably not..." This time even the captain felt a little guilty.

But now that it has happened, there is nothing they can do to save them.

As soon as he stepped on that flimsy place, Ye Lin screamed in his heart that it was not good, but it was too late to remind others, and everyone sank down together.

"damn it!"

Do you want to be so unlucky!It's just a competition, as for such a lucky star who can step on shit when he walks? !

"Bah, bah, bah!" Ye Lin spat out the sand in his mouth, but looked at this place in shock.

I was confused, what is this, the movie "Legend of Ghosts and Ghosts", a palace in the desert, or something underground!

"The team came from this direction before." Xavier, who was holding Ye Lin's hand tightly, naturally fell to the same place with him, his tone was dark, "I have to suspect that they knew something was wrong here, but they didn't tell us. Or there are their hands and feet here."

Ye Lin pointed to the dilapidated stone pillar, "It's impossible for them to make this."

Xavier stared intently, frowned and said, "This pattern seems familiar..."

"This is an abandoned magic tower." Auckland's voice suddenly sounded from the side, his expression was equally shocked, and even his voice trembled a little, "This is impossible...there are only six magic towers on the Anya Continent..."

How could there be a seventh seat!

Xavier immediately remembered, that's right, he had indeed seen this kind of complicated pattern in the book, the six magic towers in Anya Continent are very famous, one of them is in the capital, and being able to enter the magic tower to learn all the magic The dream of a mage is that only by entering the magic tower can one truly learn profound magic. It is precisely because of the firm control of the magic tower that the mage guild enjoys a lofty status on the mainland.

Looking at the moss-covered bronze and dull gold leaf, even though this magic tower has long since collapsed and been buried under the thick layer of sand, you can still find some of its former charm from those exquisite and simple details. Nobility and glory.

"Gugu~gu~" Ur, who got out of the sand layer, was pulling Ye Lin's trouser legs again. Seeing that Ye Lin ignored him, he simply stretched out his fangs and gnawed Ye Lin.

Ye Lin stared at it in pain, "What are you doing!"

Ur quickly ran towards the corner next to him, using his claws together, and pulled desperately with Charlotte.

The sand that was dug out made another small sand pile.

Yingying's light came out, reflecting Garfield's extremely shocked face.

"...New Moon—Stone Vein!"

Archie used his magic and devoured a nearby sand layer. This time, the white twilight illuminated the dark space around him.

This is a crescent rock vein, and a bag of crescent rock is worth a roomful of gold coins. The value of this crescent rock vein is simply incalculable.

"The magic tower relying on the crescent stone vein..." Xavier frowned. He took out the map and looked at it carefully, "Look!"

Ye Lin leaned over and saw Xavier paddling the edge of the island, and then moved his finger up, "Here."

"The edges of these two places can be completely fitted together!" Casimir said with wide eyes, "There—there is the Northern Wilderness Ice Field, which is now the territory of the orcs!"

"Magic tower..." Oakland pondered. He knew that magic was not prevalent among orcs. The country belongs to the same continent.

Archie's eyes sparkled, "A magic tower that no one else knows, can we learn magic that no one else knows?"

That's right, every magic tower can record unique magic, even if the magic tower has collapsed.

Ye Lin looked at the crescent stone vein, then at the collapsed magic tower in front of him, and suddenly felt that they weren't just a lucky star, but a blessing from a lucky star!

The ancients did not deceive me, what is the blessing of misfortune after suffering, this is it!

Xavier's eyes flickered slightly, and he said slowly: "Auckland, after you go back, find a way to get this island, no matter what the cost, you must get it here!"

With a "ding" in Ye Lin's mind, he remembered a plot that he had almost forgotten.

How did Xavier and Aotian form a deadly feud?

Because of a vein.

Xavier's later magic was extremely powerful, and he used unpredictable and mysterious spells to make Aotian extremely embarrassed.

Here, there is a magic tower that no one else knows.

It turns out that the roots are here.

Ye Lin suddenly felt that fate was rushing in a direction he couldn't stop.

Sadly, he felt that even if he stood in Xavier's shoes, he would make the same choice as him.

No matter what the cost, get everything in front of you!
