The restoration of the spell formation was not as smooth as they had imagined. Julian was already considered an experienced spell formation master, but this spell formation was really too old. Many things needed a long period of research before they could be sure. Otherwise, once they misunderstood and added rashly, it might cause the entire spell formation to collapse.
"I need some time, and I need to find a few spell formation masters to restore it together," Julian said to the three of them in a low voice.
"When it comes to spell formations, Novan is naturally the best in Chaos City. I can invite him over," Crassus said.
"Ashley is one of the best spell formation masters in the elven race. She should have studied many ancient spell formations in the elven race. I can get her to assist you," Irina said.
The first person that came to Mag's mind was Babla. Although this maiden was a little unreliable, and wasn't considered a spell formation master at her young age, she had said more than once that she had repaired an ancient teleportation portal to teleport herself from the Moon Nation to the Norland Continent.
There were almost no records of the Moon Nation on the Norland Continent, but the languages of the two worlds were similar. This was as suspicious as the gap in the records of the Great Old Ones. Perhaps the time when the Moon Nation lost contact with the Norland Continent was close to the time when the Great Old Ones existed?
In that case, the teleportation portal that Barbara had restored might be from the same time period as the spell formation on this altar. Perhaps she could understand this sealing spell formation a little.
"Since that's the case, let's leave first. I will use the Holy Light Spell to set up an isolation spell formation here. It can last for about seven days to ensure that the demonic aura will not leak out." Irina chose six silvery-white stones from the materials that she had just taken out, and placed them around the altar. After that, she used her magic caster's staff to draw some complicated lines and runes between them.
Irina activated the spell formation, and rays of faint golden light were emitted from the six stones, forming six light screens that surrounded the entire altar.
The octopus monster in the seal did not move anymore. It only let out an obscure low growl that was like the devil's whisper echoing in the cave. It also sounded like some kind of weird mockery.
"Hold your breath and focus. Don't be fooled by his voice. Let's leave this place immediately!" Urien's expression suddenly turned serious as he slapped a frost spell on Krassu's face. Krassu was in a daze.
Crassus woke up from his stupor and his expression changed slightly. He quickly followed Julian and retreated out of the cave. He said with lingering fear, "This monster's bewitchment is really scary. I don't even know when I fell into its trap."
Meg held the longsword in one hand and bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake. His other hand grabbed Irina's hand and rushed out of the cave.
About five minutes later, a group of people jumped out of the hole.
"Hu —"
Everyone exhaled in unison.
Firstly, the air underground was indeed a little dirty. Secondly, he felt like he had escaped death.
Meg wasn't that bad. He didn't have a strong attachment to the strong.
However, Julian and Crassus were a little different. After all, they were legends who had reached the peak for many years. They couldn't help but feel a little indescribable when they suddenly discovered that there were beings who were far more powerful than them in this world.
"I think we have to keep this a secret for the time being. If someone with ulterior motives destroys the seal and releases this fellow, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to lock it up again," Mag said to everyone.
"Greed can never be satisfied. We can't guarantee that other people can resist its temptation. We can't even guarantee that we can resist its temptation. The fewer people who know about this place, the better." Julian nodded.
"I agree. Apart from the array masters who repair the array, we shouldn't let anyone know about this for now." Irina nodded.
"I have no objection. If you don't want me to say it, then I won't say it." Crassus nodded indifferently.
"Then what do we do with this tentacle?" Meg raised the tentacle that was still stuck on his longsword and asked.
The thick tentacle was covered in a layer of sticky dark green mucus. The dead fish eyes looked weird and disgusting.
"Why don't we roast it for supper? I'm a little hungry, "Crassus suggested.
"Dig out the eyes and roast them separately? That way, we won't have to waste the pig's eyes. "Irina was deep in thought.
Julian glanced at the tentacle and raised his eyebrows slightly. "You guys go ahead. I won't eat it."
"I think we should keep it and use it as proof of the Great Old One's existence in the future." Meg shook his head and said. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to eat it, but whether this octopus tentacle could be eaten still depended on the System's test results. No one could guarantee what would happen to an old octopus that had lived for countless years. He didn't plan to test the poison himself.
"Alright." Julian nodded. With a wave of his hand, a layer of ice appeared outside the octopus tentacle, sealing it in ice.
Meg whistled. Ah Zi, who had been circling in the sky for a long time, turned into a purple lightning bolt and landed lightly in front of everyone.
"What do we do with those fellows who were knocked out?" Irina asked.
"Seal this hole temporarily, and let the Gray Temple clean it up. They are more professional at this job." Meg carried the three unconscious children over and placed them gently on Ah Zi's back.
"That's a good idea. There are too many people, and it's too troublesome to move them back." Irina's eyes lit up, and she jumped onto the griffin's back with a smile.
Julian waved his hand and sealed the hole again. At the same time, he used frost and snow to clean it up. Normal people wouldn't be able to tell what was so special about this place.
The griffin flapped its wings, and disappeared from the Thunderstorm Mountains very quickly.
After returning to Chaos City, Meg handed the three children over to the city lord's castle. The city lord's castle might be able to help them find their families, or at least let them continue living in the orphanage.
Crassus and Julian went to invite Novan, while Meg and Irina told Michael about the Thunderstorm Mountains and asked the Gray Temple to clean up the place.
"This …" Michael stopped listening to Meg's description, and looked at the octopus tentacle in shock.
However, as the lord of a city, he calmed down very quickly. He looked at Meg, and said, "Alright, I will go and look for Rolan personally, and gather all the formation masters in Chaos City immediately for Julian and the rest to do their bidding."
"Alright." Mag nodded slightly. Michael was a trustworthy partner, and at the same time, a person in power who could provide them with more help.
"Since that's the case, we will take our leave first." Meg bade farewell to Michael with Irina.
After leaving the city lord's castle, Irina directly teleported back to the first floor of the restaurant with Meg.
Meg took off his mask, and went into the kitchen to wash his hands. After that, he took two wine glasses, and poured two glasses of wine.
What happened tonight was a little too exciting. It was like dancing blades, and he had to drink some wine to calm himself down.
Irina took the wine glass, and smilingly asked Meg, "Why did you have to cut it just now?"
Meg took a sip of the wine, and calmly said, "I just couldn't stand it."
