Arreck's voice was met with an empty echo. The expression on the Archduke's face at this moment was definitely like dark clouds gathering on the surface of the sea, as if an unprecedented terrible storm was brewing. However, few people noticed that he was frowning, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes. He was suddenly afraid that the damned dragon was still here.
Seeing that his question was not answered, Arreck breathed a sigh of relief. He was not Brando, and he had never heard of a dragon that could be so cowardly. Arreck had actually seen a giant dragon before. That was when he was young on the battlefield of the Holy War. He had seen the mount of the Kirrlutz Emperor, Grando the Great. Ever since the Flame King Gretel, the Kirrlutz Royal Family had a tradition of signing a contract with a giant dragon, which was one of the reasons why the Kirrlutz Empire was so confident.
He had a deep impression of the dragon's arrogance, so he did not doubt that there was a cunning and despicable dragon waiting to ambush them. Seeing that Arreck's expression had relaxed, the people around him dared to speak. One of the wizards stepped forward and said, "My Lord, we suspect that the dragon took advantage of our misunderstanding. It may have placed a trap on top of the cave. Please allow us to check it out."
Arreck nodded, but still said, "Be quick. That stupid dragon should be back soon."
The Wizards nodded and did as they were told. Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to find a huge magic array on top of the Hall of Ice. When the All for One Wizards inspected the magic array, they couldn't help but find out that it was actually a teleportation array.
In other words, those unlucky fellows from before had mistakenly entered this teleportation circle and were sent to some unknown corner of the world.
"But the problem is, when a teleportation circle is activated, doesn't it require the consent of the person being teleported? This goes against the basic principles of magic!" The wizards immediately felt that it was a little inconceivable.
On top of the ice layer above them, Shitah was laughing so hard that he was banging his head on the ground. Fortunately, the ice layer was thick enough, otherwise the people in the hall below might have noticed the abnormality.
In fact, the reason was very simple. The magic circle covered a spherical space. When the magic circle began to take effect, Shitah was also one of the recipients. So it just had to keep answering, "Yes, I'm the one who got teleported. Accept! Good! Activate the Magic Array! "Then, he could watch as the unlucky Black Knight was teleported away.
As for why it hadn't been teleported away, the reason was even simpler. It was common knowledge that teleportation circles had their limits. If it could only transport four-pound objects, it would not work on six-pound goods. Within that limit, it would only work on the 'goods' that could be used.
And with a certain dragon's meatball-like body, it was almost certainly overweight.
Shitah remembered where the formation led to. It scratched its head as if it couldn't remember clearly. Anyway, it was a very far and not fun place. In short, Shitah would definitely not want to go there.
The All For One Wizards studied under the magic circle for a long time, but they couldn't figure it out. In the end, they could only conclude that this was a dragon's spell, an ancient string magic. Naturally, it wasn't something they could understand. As for the mysterious patterns on the magic circle that were clearly made up of modern magical runes, they naturally chose to ignore them. After all, the problem now was not to study the magic circle, but to find a way to appease Duke Arreck's anger.
Arreck seemed to have noticed that these guys were fools. These wizards were his assistants from the Privy Council, but it was a pity that even as the chairman of the Privy Council, he couldn't mobilize the Order of Chaos alone. Therefore, other than the Black Knight, he could only find some lower-ranking members to make up the numbers. As for whether these people were reliable or not, it was clear at a glance.
He snorted coldly and interrupted their nonsense. "Your mission is not to figure out how this spell works, but to destroy it. We don't have much time, so you better not waste your precious lives. That Frost Wyrm may be stupid, but it's more than enough to freeze you into popsicles."
"My lord," the wizards quickly replied. "Although it's a little troublesome to figure out how this magic circle works, it's very simple to destroy it. Magic circles are actually very fragile, so they're usually hidden. However, this magic circle is actually floating on the ice. As long as a few spells are used to destroy it, it won't work anymore."
"Yes, that dragon does seem to be a little stupid. If it buried this magic circle behind the ice, it'll be much more troublesome for us to deal with." Someone said aloud.
Arreck nodded, but he didn't think so. He felt that no matter how stupid the dragon was, it wouldn't be as stupid as these guys in front of him. Besides, he was already a little impatient. He waved his hand and let the wizards quickly deal with the magic circle.
… …
In the quiet passage, the sound of the previous avalanche still lingered. Brando and the others walked through the cracks of the glacier. They could even feel the buzzing under the dark blue ice on both sides. The young prince walked in front of everyone, holding the Lion's Fang tightly with both hands. In this enclosed environment, he was as alert as a rabbit. If he had ears, they would have been pricked up.
"Teacher, Madam Legion Commander, did you hear anything?" Haruz suddenly turned around and asked.
"Sound? No, you mean the previous avalanche? "The scholar was startled and asked. "That's not an avalanche. It's the sound of the glacier collapsing somewhere here. It must be that coward's movement. The young Frost Dragons are born with the ability to manipulate glaciers." A cold voice interrupted her. The one who spoke was Aloz. This young lady flew back from the battlefield. It was said that she didn't think it was fun there, so she hurried back.
Brando asked her about the battle situation, and sure enough, everything was as expected. Freya's performance was better than expected. The only accident was probably the sudden snowstorm, but Maynild and Freya reacted in time and asked everyone to retreat to shelter. In fact, Brando actually suspected that the little female dragon flew in from the outside because she was afraid of the cold.
Gold Dragons, like Red Dragons, liked hot environments. Naturally, they could not adapt to such glaciers, not to mention the temperature in snowstorms that often dropped below zero. However, there were few storms on this glacier, and Brando suspected that there might be a magic tide behind it.
As soon as Aloz spoke, the others fell silent. Now everyone knew that the little girl in front of them was actually a terrible dragon. Even now, the envoy, Gerd, was still lying on the stretcher.
Aloz's eyes were shining. Only Haruz was a little used to the habits of the young lady of the dragon race. He explained in a low voice, "I, I'm not talking about that. Mr. Brando, did you hear that?"
Brando nodded. He heard it more clearly than anyone else. In the buzzing caused by the avalanche, there was another sound mixed in. He turned back and looked at Veronica. The female legion commander also had a look of concentration and held her breath. "It seems to be magic." She replied after listening for a while.
"It's magic." Brando nodded. "Just the sound of the bombardment of magic energy, I seem to hear the sound of dark magic flames rising from the sea of magic. Only the wizards of the cult are good at using such magic."
"Black magic. Did Arreck's people fight with the dragon?" Veronica asked.
Brando looked ahead and shook his head. "I'm afraid not. I didn't feel the fluctuation of string magic. The ancient string magic of the dragon race is one of the most terrible spells. It is the complete opposite of black magic. It is a means of directly controlling the lines of law to constrain the bombardment of energy. Once someone uses string magic, the shock caused can be transmitted several miles away. You will definitely have the chance to see that kind of spiritual throbbing. "
Aloz heard this and snorted softly. She could not help but say, "Hey, you're very familiar with our spells."
For such a question, Brando had already dealt with it easily. He casually replied, "All the wizards are trying to study your spells. Ancient string magic and ancient runic magic together are the origin of all magic."
"They are just fools. Our ancient magic comes from the memories in the bloodline. Mortals can't learn it no matter what." Aloz looked disapproving.
Brendel did not refute. The magic system created by the Miirna people to this day was definitely not as bad as Aloz said. This was the era of mortals, and even the dragons had to admit this. However, he skipped this question and directly answered Veronica. "I think maybe Arreck is dealing with the cave dwellers under the glacier."
"You'll know when you see it." Veronica replied.
The group continued to move forward and passed through the original path that Arreck took. They did not encounter any resistance along the way. After half an hour, they found Shitah's lair. But at this moment, it was beyond recognition. The first thing he saw when he walked into this naturally formed ice hall was potholes on the ground, broken ice walls, and corpses strewn all over the place.
However, he looked around and did not see any corpses that belonged to the dragon or Arreck. It was as if the two sides had a great battle, but no one could do anything to the other.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what had happened here, but Aloz was the first to react. Her golden eyes turned, and she ran over to one of the corpses, then checked some of the small objects on the body, and then frowned.
Among everyone, her figure flashed and suddenly disappeared from the hall.
Just as everyone was dumbfounded by her actions, an earth-shattering shriek suddenly resounded from within the cavern.
"Ahhhh, Sister Aloz, I was wrong, let go …"
