Atlas Double Star Book

The author has something to say: For the sake of the atmosphere in these two chapters, (those who are prone to excitement) I will shut up and not speak (get up tomorrow morning to reply to friends’ messages and correct typos, thank you!)

Weather spells summoned rain, and the flames gradually died down.The village was turned into ruins overnight, and there were no survivors.The wounded warlock is still comatose.

"Tell me," Neil tried to look calm, "What is the worst consequence of the spell you want to do?"

"There will be no worst consequences... I am a person who has died once, so there is nothing to be afraid of." The scholar lowered his head, the rain soaked his robe and long silver hair, sticking to his skin wetly.

"Is that why you don't care about your own life?" Rain became annoying, and Neil held back, trying to be patient.

"It has to be done."

"Teacher, I ask you to think about it..."

"It must be so."

"Then at least..."

"Do not."

The sound of the rain gradually became clearer, the blood stains faded, and the ruins finally quieted down.Neil was speechless, what could he do?Shall this stubborn scholar be tied up?The forest in the distance vibrated uncomfortably.A weak earthquake, both of them felt it.The scholar looked up eagerly.

Neil was really helpless, he looked at Heather.The wounded Warlock was still comatose and unable to help.

The scholar endured it, and said almost in a begging tone: "Neil, let me go... The matter has become so serious, I have a lot of responsibility... That man turned Orpheus into a monster, and he was referring to Maybe the black mage is right, I haven't thought about the possibility of transforming humans into monsters. He just turned the evil assumptions in my mind into reality. Then..."

"No! Of course not! You are just imagining. And that person has only malice!"

The scholar smiled wryly: "Now I understand why Mr. Pross didn't allow me to get involved in this research. Maybe he knew that I would go too deep...Neil, there is a reason why the university scholar Agnès forbade us to get involved in certain fields Makes sense. And... I watched the black mage activate the spell of manipulating earthquakes with my own eyes... I couldn't stop him, and this was my second fault."

"No."

"My third mistake was that the defense was not enough, so that the man stole the Abi rune and killed the people in this village. Hundreds of people, Neil, there used to be hundreds of people living here... but They're dead," Peleas said.

"this is not your fault!"

Pelias held Neil's hand, "But I have to prevent the tragedy that may happen next. If I don't cut off the connection between the monster and the leylines, and don't undo the spell cast by the black mage on the leylines...then I will be swallowed next time." Yes, it may be people from the entire imperial capital."

The sound of the rain gradually became louder, and the two remained silent.

Wet ends obscured his view, and Neal brushed it back.He saw his beloved standing sadly in the rain, his figure reflected in the amber pupils.Neil took a step forward and hugged the teacher tightly in his arms.The rain seemed to be less icy, at least he could feel the person's body temperature, the heaving ribs due to shortness of breath, and the trembling of the other person's body under the wet fabric.

"Pelia, I love you. What do I long for? I keep losing people I love, Mom and Dad, and then you. Don't I deserve happiness? But all I want is to be with you Sitting by the fire reading a book, drinking hot milk with honey, it's snowing outside, and our house is warm. That's all I want, that's all..."

Neil closed his eyes and kept kissing the wet silver hair.

"You know, I love you. Don't..."

Peleas wanted to respond to the hug, but the raised hands were lowered anyway.He doesn't deserve it, and he knows it.

"sorry."

Apart from that, Peleas couldn't think of anything else he could say to Neil.

Perhaps this is an opportunity for him to correct the mistakes he made.Pelias thought.

All errors.

Gods of Tranquility, forgive me.

"Earth, stone, Ard." He murmured meaningless words, as if praying.The ancient big spell gave people a huge sense of oppression before it started, and the mage was so nervous that his fingers trembled.He has to learn by doing, this is the troublesome part of the ancient magic, there is no chance to do it again.

From the moment he made up his mind, everything started to work.The power of the earth swirled around him, getting heavier and heavier—almost crushing the spellcaster and suffocating him.The mage suddenly understood what it was like to be dust.

Take it easy, take it easy... hold the force, keep your balance.

So he opened his arms and, as recorded in the classics, maintained the grand spell with a gesture of blessing.The huge force around was guided, flowing and roaring, dragging him into the abyss.In other words, the spellcaster dedicated himself to the nameless darkness of countless lifetimes.

"wear……"

It was as if someone was calling from above, but he could no longer hear it.

The first is understanding.

In the initial stage of entering the earth, he must maintain the stability of consciousness to prevent the "self" from dissipating in the chaos.So he tries to understand this completely different state.

Dark, cold, and damp.It was the rain seeping in.

He tried to descend, to test the depth of the earth.This sense of descent seems infinite... like flying in the sky.Without the shackles of his body, his senses can extend so broadly!

get deep down.There must be a "knot" somewhere, a point of origin through which the Black Mage took hold of the leylines and caused earthquakes.He reminded himself to be conscious at all times.But as long as he thinks that he has been swallowed up by the earth like a speck of dust, and the abyss is all around him, he will feel terrified.

If he can't find the "door", he will never go back.

This spell is one-way.

Go deep, as the old mage who calmed the earthquake did.Do not be afraid.

He was looking for mineral veins, which are the most easily attached substances for spells, and black mages are likely to use them to penetrate deep into the earth.There is no light in the darkness, but he is no longer seeing with his eyes.Going deeper, he seems to have descended from the high sky to the Milky Way, surrounded by bright and soft golden streamers, which are gold accompanied by brass, growing on the sharp-edged mica.

The spell fluctuated sharply, and the minerals also rang.

The mage himself seemed to be the reflection of a prism.It feels strange, as if the "self" is split and reflected in a hard plane of 1000 million crystals.He was very uncomfortable and wanted to hide from his own image.Detectable spells still guide him.He can only go through this mining area and go deeper.

There is a heartbeat.

His pulse beat accordingly, and he knew it was getting closer.

Gradually, the veins were beating, and he seemed to be walking through tiny blood vessels.

The surrounding atmosphere has completely changed, and he felt the twisted "knot", roughly restraining a staggered section of the earth's veins.This is imposed by the black mage.Although it is buried deep, it is not difficult to untie this "knot".He meditated for a while, and it was relieved after a while.

Strange, is it such a simple spell?Can control earthquakes...

"I knew you would come."

human voice.

!

Everything around him changed instantly, the smell of iron permeated everywhere, and the smell of blood.

The structure of the veins changed completely, binding him tightly like an iron chain, as if he was being strangled by two closed hands.It's so uncomfortable... He tried to figure out what happened, but was too scared to move by the changes around him——

Eyes like blood.

The red eyes were open and densely arranged, staring at him in unison.The tide of blood is normal.Countless eye pupils are like crystals, reflecting the same blurred human figure.

Creamy, congested, thick and sticky, it feels terribly uncomfortable.He tried to break free.

"I knew you would come."

someone said.

"Yes, then tell me... where is he."

Another said.

When the sound came, he was terrified.

is it possible?No...he couldn't admit he was wrong.It is absolutely impossible to admit mistakes.

"Where is Peleas?"

It was Hein's voice.
