I swapped my life with me

Mr. Mage doesn't seem to be very interested in the newly arrived transcendents.

After breaking down the opponent's secret attack, he directly pulled Mu Xuesong who had just put down the bazooka, walked straight to Ulysses' side, then lowered his head slightly, and looked at the area under the boat that was glowing with sparkling light. turquoise waters.

Mu Xuesong turned his head while walking, and gestured to the others: "Everyone, stay alert."

Ding Yangyan immediately stood up and patted his chest: "No problem, leave it to us!"

Just now everyone didn't pay attention to Freedom's sneak attack, it was purely because Gu Jingming suddenly fell to the ground, which made them a little flustered, now that Boss Gu is safe and sound, these people naturally have no worries.

The transcendent and the bodyguards took up weapons spontaneously. Although the former was not as professional as the bodyguards, at least he had recently inspired his innate magic. His physical fitness was several times stronger than that of ordinary people, so he was still competent for security work.

And Marquis Wen, who was not used to hot weapons, also took his longbow and Fang Tian's painted halberd from a bodyguard at this time. It knocked on the deck, making a muffled bang.

For some reason, the inexplicable sound makes people feel jumpy and frightened.

Captain Anderson shuddered violently.

He stood stiffly behind Mr. Translator, and said dryly, "Shen, didn't you say that they are all serious ordinary tourists?"

Shen Ye: "..."

Chen Ye pushed his glasses to block his flickering eyes, and said nonsense with his eyes open: "There is no doubt that they are... well, ordinary tourists."

Anderson: "..."

I really believe in your evil!

Beside the boat, Ulysses was still squatting on the railing, ignoring the movements on the deck, wrinkling its nose and making a sniffing motion.

"A very strong magical smell." Ulysses smelled it for a long time, and couldn't help but sneezed several times: "Why is the fishy smell in this sea so strong... It's fishy and salty, damn it, it's killing me ..."

Mu Xuesong was also observing the surrounding situation.

Relying on his outstanding eyesight and perception ability, within a few minutes, he discovered that the dots of light flickering and floating on the sea surface did not seem to all come from the reflection and refraction of the sunlight above his head.

Part of that light seemed to originate from below the sea surface, they pierced straight up from the deeper seabed, and connected into strange patterns that might be full of deep meaning one after another.

Mu Xue pointed at a part of the light, and said in a low voice, "Those are the radiance emitted after the magic circle is activated."

Mu Xuesong was a little surprised. He propped his hands on the railing, and looked towards the place pointed by the other party: "Are they all there? There are so many... These can't all be activated by the magic element in Boss Gu's mind, right?"

Mu Xue leaned beside him, shaking her head with a calm expression: "It shouldn't be so powerful, I suspect that someone else triggered another magic circle in the ruins, and the other party should be a very powerful high-level magician. "

The scepter of life that he held in his hand suddenly coughed moderately at this moment: 【My lord. 】

Mu Xue was still looking at the patterns made up of those brilliance, and didn't respond to it, but the life scepter had already acquiesced that she could speak, so she continued: [My lord, this is actually the case...]

[You know, the Book of Truth has always had some connection with me.Of course, I have always abided by the professional ethics of an excellent servant. If it is not necessary, I usually will not respond to the communication request of the Book of Truth casually. 】

【Then...Recently, the Book of Truth and His Majesty the Pope are conducting a series of in-depth studies on the subject of soul banning.They have tried many methods to find the void universe, some of which have made initial progress, and others have reached a deadlock. If there is no suitable opportunity to intervene, then this road can basically be determined to be impossible. 】

When it said these words, Mu Xue's expression gradually softened, Mr. Mage turned his head and gave Mu Xuesong a look, the latter immediately understood, and leaned over to squeeze together affectionately with Mu Xue.

The arms of the two of them rubbed against each other, and the deep, non-male and non-female voice of the scepter of life rang in the minds of the two of them at the same time without hindrance.

[The Book of Truth had hoped to cooperate with our Lord before, but the so-called opportunity was really hard to pray for. His Holiness had to find another way in order to make breakthroughs in other directions. 】

Mu Xuesong turned his gaze back to the scepter of life leaning on the railing, and said casually, "It sounds like your pope has made some big news again?"

[Mr. Mu, please be careful. ] The scepter of life, who was always thinking about his own assessment results, immediately corrected him: [It is not 'your pope', I have long stopped serving the pope, and now I just use these trivial matters as information and tell my lord to listen . 】

Mu Xuesong said perfunctorily: "Okay, I understand, you continue."

Life Scepter: [...cough. 】

Scepter of Life: [Just this morning, I received another message from the Book of Truth.Some time ago, in order to be able to study the subject more comprehensively, they chose to enter the abyss of the rift to find an opportunity. Because the Pope has broken away from the shackles of the flesh, he was able to go deep into the place infinitely close to the core of the planet, and found there Found a strange magical relic. 】

【The Pope tried to decipher two-fifths of the magic circles in the ruins, and the Book of Truth shared them with the other four artifacts. I was fortunate enough to read the contents, and after spending some time, I finally absorbed most of the knowledge. 】

"...the magic circle in the magic ruins?" Mu Xue murmured, as if realizing something, he moved his eyes to the clusters of light rising from the sea.

Scepter of Life: [Yes, the magic circle cracked by the pope is almost exactly the same as the one on the bottom of the sea. 】

Mu Xuesong: "..."

Mu Xuesong: "??!"

He widened his green eyes, and leaned closer to the staff: "Wait, what do you mean? You mean to say that the magic circle in the abyssal rift of the Seers continent comes from the same magic circle as the one in the sea under our feet." pulse?"

Mu Xue was pushed to the right by him: "It's also possible that the ruins on both sides are the same one."

Mu Xuesong: "!"

Mu Xue lowered her eyes and smiled deeply: "Interesting."

The life scepter was silent for a few seconds, and said: [My Lord. 】

[It is undeniable that this may be a suitable opportunity. 】

×××××××××××××

Hundreds of nautical miles away, inside a small submarine.

An 11-year-old boy code-named "Engineer" is curled up in the seat.

He half-closed his eyes, hugged his bulging satchel tightly with both hands, his body was shaking slightly, his face and body were soaked in sweat, he looked as if he was enduring extraordinary torture.

A middle-aged man in a tuxedo suit and holding a gentleman's cane sat next to him. The man held a silk handkerchief in the other hand, frowning and wiping away the tiny beads of sweat around his eyes.

This middle-aged man is tall. It can be seen that he has deliberately managed his body, and his body proportions are not bad.He has a pair of brown-black eyes, his facial features are not very outstanding, his face is a bit square, his hair of the same color is thick and lush, his eyebrows are thick and black, and he has neat and clean beards on his chin and sideburns. He looks like a very decent man. high society aristocracy.

The name of this aristocratic gentleman is Baird Owen, the highest person in charge of the European branch of Dawn Shelter, code-named "Time Stealer", and also the current adoptive father of "Engineer" Adams.

"Adams, can you still hold on?" Baird stretched out his hand to hold his adopted son's thin shoulders, his face seemed a bit unbearable: "Maybe I should leave you on the shore, you look like you are about to vomit."

Adams bit his lip and shook his head: "I...I can..."

Before Baird could say anything more, the subordinate on the side took off the headset and said, "Boss, the two torpedoes we fired have all lost contact. Do you need to add more?"

Baird frowned, immediately abandoned Adams, stood up and walked to the bridge: "Tell me about the specific situation."

Subordinate: "We didn't get much feedback information. The two torpedoes disappeared suddenly. The first one lost contact at [-] seconds after launch, and the second one was [-] seconds after hitting the target. It's only two or three seconds."

Baird stared at the two rows of screens on the bridge for a moment, and whispered to himself: "The target of the first bomb is the Miracle. The other party detects it very quickly, and the scope of its ability is also very large. I am not sure yet. Who is the extraordinary person who made the shot?"

"However, the one on the Liberty can be identified. It must be the group of lunatics from the American branch. The one who eliminated the torpedo may be the clown, or it may be the princess of hearts." He said, caressing himself The beard on the sideburns: "The clown's [spiritual mask] hides several special personalities that can easily deal with torpedoes, and the princess of hearts, her [Dark fairy tale book] can kill people or things within a certain range. Absorbed into the book, it is not a problem to deal with a torpedo.”

The subordinate asked again: "Boss, do you want to continue to attack?"

Baird didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Go ahead and increase the attack. The lunatics in the American department are not easy to deal with. It would be great if we could blow them up."

"As for the Miracle, it's just for me to confirm their strength." He said tepidly, "The Miracle is too close to the gate of the relic, and that door may open at any time now. I don’t want to see other people get there first, it’s better to kill all hidden dangers in the cradle.”

Subordinate: "Okay, I see."

Baird opened his mouth, but before he could say the next order, someone behind him said abruptly: "Minister, the engineer's condition is not right, can I knock him unconscious first, and then ask the accompanying doctor to come over and take a look look?"

Baird turned his head and found that in just such a short moment, his adopted son no longer hugged his legs and shivered.

He rolled his eyes instead.

Baird: "!"

Baird walked back to Adams in a few steps, supported his head with one hand, and asked in a hurried voice: "What's going on with him?"

The one who spoke before was also an extraordinary person. The man spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, he suddenly became like this. It feels like being possessed by a demon. Minister, maybe he will be knocked out if he is knocked unconscious. Make things better?"

Baird didn't speak, just shook Adams: "Adams, are you okay? Can you hear me?"

Adams' pupils were constantly turning up, and the white eyeballs under his eyelids were almost covered with bloodshot eyes. He opened his mouth and made a few faint "hehe" sounds, opened and closed his lips, and muttered in an inaudible voice With strange words.

"This method... can't..."

"... There is an obstacle... His soul... is too weak..."

"Heh... heh..."

"Connection...error...failed...failed again..."

"...he..."

"If anyone could hear..."

"Bring him here... take him... to the ruins... we can... make a deal..."

"He...bring him here...please bring him here..."

Author has something to say: Baird: "Son, are you okay?"

Adams [pseudo]: "Whose son are you scolding!"
