By the time Thunder Dragon Armes rushed into the underground hall like a whirlwind, the atmosphere had turned awkward.
There were less than eleven Dragonoid Warriors who had rushed here with Armes. After the thunder dragon left, they naturally followed Zacha's lead.
Now that they had a chance to talk, Zacha's attitude towards the Magi changed slightly.
Dragonoid Warriors and Magi were undoubtedly enemies!
When the Master of the Dragonoid Warriors was fighting a Grade 3 monster, it was definitely not a good idea to leave a few Magi around the battlefield. Therefore, when Zacha gathered a group of Dragonoid Warriors, his first target was Grimm.
After all, Grimm had saved his life once.
Therefore, it did not fight with Grimm. Instead, it sent someone to keep an eye on the wizards and blocked the only way to the underground hall. It was as if it wanted to prevent them from doing anything bad while its master was fighting.
Grimm did not protest at all. Instead, he calmly led a few of his subordinates and escaped into the distant tunnel.
Although he had saved Zacha's life, Zacha's words had resolved the danger of the Magi being wiped out. Grimm could understand why the Magi were acting this way.
There were still quite a number of goblin machines around them, but the strange thing was that they seemed to ignore the Magi. Every single one of them pushed past the Magi and charged towards the dragonfolk's defensive line.
At that moment, there was a loud rumble from the distant cavern hall. All of the City of Steel seemed to be shaking and surging. Waves of spiritual force that resembled Garzruvi's reverberated in the underground space, and there seemed to be cries of pain and pleas for mercy mixed within.
"Follow me!" Alice's fighting spirit was high at this moment. She took the initiative to lead the group through the underground tunnels, as if she was very familiar with the complicated pipe system here.
Their destination was also a secret underground room!
There, they found the Goblin God of War, Tigole, hugging Princess Vanessa's corpse and crying loudly.
Seeing the Magi suddenly appear here, the furious Tigole jumped three feet into the air and gently put down the princess's corpse. He immediately rushed forward with a roar.
Unfortunately, without the help of magic equipment, Tigule was at most a Green-level Wizard. Let alone Grim, any Wizard on the scene could easily kill him.
Poison Centipede Endor couldn't stand this guy who didn't know what was good for him. He took out a green frog and was about to throw it at Tigole, but Alice stopped him.
At Alice's signal, Sophia strode forward, grabbed Tigole's short neck, and raised him up high. No matter how hard he punched and kicked, he could not reach Sofia's body. And with Tigole's strength, it was even more impossible for him to break free from Sophia's shackles. Thus, after messing around for a while, he began to cry in frustration.
"Do you like Princess Vanessa?" Alice walked up to Tigole slowly.
"…" Tigole was sad. Then, he raised his head and viciously glared at Alice with his blood red eyes.
"If I help you resurrect Princess Vanessa …" Alice's long and narrow eyes narrowed, and she smiled at him.
"Eh …" Tigole was stunned, and then asked in disbelief, "You … You … Can … Really … Resurrect … the princess?"
"Don't forget, we're Magi from the Magus World! Our methods are not something you natives of low-grade planes can imagine … "
Tigole selectively ignored the disdain in Alice's words.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I … What do I have to do to … resurrect the princess?"
"I need a hidden passage to the hall in the crypt …" Tigole's eyes trembled slightly.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "As long as … As long as you can prove that the princess can be resurrected, I'll provide you with a hidden passage that no one can think of. I'm afraid that even Gaz Ruvi didn't know about this passage … "
Hearing this, Alice relaxed a little, and smiled once again.
"There are two ways to resurrect Vanessa. One is to use the Life Transfer Spell to transfer all your life force to Vanessa and resurrect her. However, you'll definitely die this way! "
"I'm willing!"
"Don't be hasty. Just listen to the second method patiently. The second method is the Spirit Parasitism Spell. Extract Vanessa's soul and graft it into your soul. This way, she'll form a parasitic relationship with you, and become a companion spirit that outsiders can't easily see. Only you can touch her. Also … She'll follow your lead from now on, and only listen to you … "
As soon as Alice's words left her mouth, a strange smile appeared on the faces of the few Magi who were scattered around them. However, Tigole's mind was in turmoil and he clearly didn't notice this.
"You already know about these two methods. Now, tell me, which method do you want to choose?"
"I …" The resolute Tigole suddenly stuttered. He stammered for a long time, but did not know what he was saying.
… …
In the pitch-black underground passageway, a bean-sized light flickered.
Tigole held a magical energy vapor lamp in his hand as he took the lead, stumbling over his own feet. Behind him, six Magi floated silently like ghosts. All the elemental auras in their bodies were retracted, not leaking out at all.
This was obviously not an underground passageway that was normally used, but a maintenance passageway.
In the narrow passageway that was less than two metres tall, there were metal conduits and cables of various sizes on both sides. The bottom of the passageway was half a metre deep, and the temperature was around -15 degrees Celsius. It was probably a mixture of underground water and condensate from the pipes.
The Magi did not seem to notice such a vile environment, and did not care at all.
After all, to be able to become a Magus, everyone's physique had been reborn, and they had undergone a qualitative transformation. The weakest person present was Alice, but even she had two points in vitality. These two points were enough for her to tear apart tigers and wolves with her bare hands.
So even though Alice was a delicate young witch, this kind of environment was not a problem for her!
After walking through the pitch-black and complicated maintenance passageway for a long time, they finally arrived at an open hall. In the middle of the hall, a huge metal pipe that was five metres thick drilled out of the floor, and went straight into the ceiling above them.
When they got a little closer, they could hear the strange rumbling sounds that sounded like a raging torrent flowing through the metal pipe.
"This is the main pipe that connects the spatial furnace to the surface of the Steel City. Gaz Ruvi wants to use the energy in the spatial furnace to power the entire Steel City, and this is its main artery. The underground passageway has already been sealed by the magical equipment controlled by Gaz Ruvi. If you want to get close to the spatial furnace without him knowing, this is the only way! " At this point, Tigole put down the magical steam lamp and turned around to look at Alice. "I've already pointed out the passageway you want. What about the one you promised me?"
Alice raised her slender hand, and a golden birdcage appeared in her hand.
Tigole moved closer, and could clearly see the tiny corpse of Vanessa lying peacefully inside. Strangely, streaks of golden Witchcraft Runes were circling around her body, slowly pulling an illusory Vanessa out of her body. She stood rooted to the ground with a stupefied expression.
"What happened to my Vanessa? You … Don't lie to me! "Tigole screamed agitatedly.
Alice smiled.
"Since you've chosen to join us, you have to believe us. I can only trap Vanessa's soul here temporarily, but I'll need a lot of rare resources to transfer her soul to you. These resources can only be found in the Magus World, so if you want to obtain the complete soul of your lover, you can only accompany us to the Magus World! "
Alice's words were like the whispers of the devil in Tigole's mind. He knew that there was poison in her words, but he could only do as she said.
"Alright, I'll believe you!" Tigole could only yield helplessly, "This pipe is filled with magical energy. Anyone who tries to barge in will be engulfed by the energy storm. Are you sure … You want to sneak in from here? "
Since he had already become her 'ally', even if it was just for Vanessa's soul, Tigole had to start thinking for her.
"That's not something you need to worry about!" At this moment, Grimm stood up, "After Alice and I enter, you guys take Tigole and leave as quickly as possible. The faster, the better, the further, the better …
Alice pursed her lips and smiled, but did not object.
"Why is it you and her? Can't it be someone else? "Mary frowned, and could not help but ask.
"If you want to barge into the spatial furnace from here, Magi with weak defences will not be able to last until the end. The reason why I brought Alice is because she has the ability to teleport us out at the most dangerous moment, "Grimm explained simply.
Alice did not seem to be nervous about this, and only handed a silver-grey metal ball to Poison Worm Endor.
After the other wizards left, only Grim and Alice were left in the hall.
"How do you know that I'm willing to take the risk with you?" Alice smiled lightly.
"Because this is the path you pointed out to me. If you don't go with me, who will?" Grimm smiled faintly, and went forward to hug Alice's slender waist.
Alice could not help but shiver, and rolled her eyes at him.
Grimm did not say anything else, and hugged her to his chest. His body moved backwards, and his back was instantly covered with extremely pure elemental flames.
Like a red-hot piece of metal thrown into a pile of snow, the metal pipe that flickered faintly melted and softened under the terrifying heat of the flames.
