Chapter 163 Divine Contract and Changes in the Canyon [Please subscribe]
Is there an ability to escape from the scene when time is stagnant?
Of course!
That is a higher-order spatial displacement ability!
And it must be able to be passively activated!
Time and space are interdependent, with almost no distinction between high and low.
When Baron Bezos' protective magic element was destroyed and Chen Xuan's attack reached his body, the teleportation occurred.
The other party disappeared in front of his eyes in an instant. This was just a change in spatial position, and it did not mean that Bezos could escape the shackles of time-stopping.
Obviously, this is the Baron's life-saving trump card.
Being able to teleport away from the time stop means that the energy level of this trump card is not low. Chen Xuan has already guessed the details, but this is no longer important.
He quickly left the place, seizing the time to activate [Time Suspension].
[Thunder Surge] The battle sword cut through the belt binding Ophelia's body, and stopped in the following rounds. Chen Xuan directly took her and the red-haired Ursula and chose to run away.
After arriving in an area outside the castle away from magic interference and shielding, he can activate [Flash in the Same Domain] normally.
Baron Bezos has already tried his best to see the enemy, and the castle is the opponent's home field, so there is no need to stay any longer.
Chen was prepared to wait until later.
He is different from the Baron.
The city of Magtan is the baron's inheritance.
This is what the saying goes that a monk can run away but cannot run away from a temple.
In comparison, Chen Xuan seems relatively bachelor.
Ansetus has fled, and Ophelia has no ties in the city.
As for the White Rose caravan, it is not difficult to change from light to dark. As long as they have the magic tears in their hands, it is not them who should worry, but the traveling merchants who rely on White Rose's supply.
Moreover, most of the main force of the state army participated in the encirclement and suppression of the secret door passage.
This is the most important task in the entire Magtan City in the near future, and the priority of dealing with Ophelia cannot be compared with it.
You must know that the cave where the secret door passage is located is not easy to deal with. Not only are high-level monsters dormant in it, but there are also hundreds of middle- and low-level monsters lurking in it. It is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.
According to the attrition flow style of play of the Naroa natives, it would be impossible to solve the problem so quickly.
It will take at least two or three Narayas, unless the garrison, adventurers and mercenaries are willing to take the risk of a frontal attack.
Finally, the lines of Kitty Girl, Jason Blacksmith, and Old Buggy have not been exposed.
Under such circumstances, it would be unwise for Chen Xuan to choose to fight in the Baron's castle.
It's not too late to leave first and then slowly lay out the preparations.
After all, the castle will not run away.
Chen Xuan, who understood the key, quickly left with the help of [Flash from the same domain] and sent Ophelia back to the station first.
She had to complete the core transfer of the caravan station in no more than half an hour.
Abandon this temporary camp where tents were set up, and head to the black streets with those alchemy apprentices and craftsmen who have signed contracts and can be trusted.
Old Buggy has not been idle during these few days. In addition to helping to find out the news, he also arranged a small black street courtyard for the emergency settlement of the White Rose Caravan.
The streets and alleys in the city are complicated, and if you want to hide, it's really not that easy to find.
This is especially true in the dark streets.
There are so many crimes in the underworld, it can be said that it is a neighborhood built on killing and blood.
It's a mess in itself, enough to mess up everything.
And after the change from light to darkness, Chen Xuan also prepared a new response plan.
In fact, he had already prepared for the operation against Magatan City. Whether on Blue Star or Naroya, seizing territory was an essential operation.
Now that he already has the Myawadi enclave in Blue Star, and DKBA as the "black glove" for handling external affairs, he naturally has to build a territory in Naroa continent!
An area like Magatan City, which is located on the edge of the kingdom and has a low presence in the eyes of the big forces, has become the best choice for initial development sites!
If you want to make something big out of something small, you have to start small first.
Now that the conflict has been forged and the target has been determined, Chen Xuan naturally will not sit still and wait for death. He has already made multiple contingency plans, and he has hit the right moment when the secret door passage incident breaks out.
After he sent Ophelia to the caravan station, the entire station took action without any instructions.
There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests.
When the White Rose Caravan shows sufficient profit potential, all relevant beneficiary forces will spontaneously stand up to protect it!
Therefore, Ophelia arranged the evacuation in an orderly manner while contacting the main supplying merchants through the magic letter raft.
Just over ten minutes later, all nearby major intersections were blocked by horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts from unknown forces.
The light riders who were temporarily assembled to launch an assault on the White Rose Caravan Station were blocked.
In the large surrounding area, there are only one or two specific routes left.
After sending Ophelia back, Chen Xuan grabbed Ursula's red hair and conducted an extra round of [Time Stop] to search her carefully.
He directly took away all the magic jewelry and space storage props from Yusula, and then activated [Crossover] to send her to Blue Star.
After returning to Blue Star, Chen Xuan took out the tough magic spider silk and directly tied her into a rice dumpling, and then locked her in Xiong Haibo's bedroom.
This kind of spider silk has a magic counteracting effect. The garrison uses it to restrict the movement of prisoners. It is a different world version of "handcuffs". It is more than enough to subdue Yusula, who only has bronze-level magic skills.
Lock up the prisoners of Blue Star in Naroa, and then lock the prisoners of Naroa in Blue Star.
The isolation between the two worlds is the best prison, provided that Chen Xuan is sure to completely subdue these guys.
After temporarily settling Yusula, he immediately returned to the Naroa continent and prepared to go to the Black Street.
Through Lao Baji's channels and Krong's paving the way, Chen Xuan has initially gotten through to the top leaders of the two major underworld forces, the Broken Finger Gang and the Coolie Mule. Although they haven't made contact yet, it's not too late to go now.
The war between him and Baron Bezos has begun, and the next step is to use more radical methods!
...
"Huh... Huh... Huh..."
"Damn it!"
Baron Bezos Chebman appeared in the secret room.
He covered the burning wound on his shoulder, sweat pouring down his face.
Everything that had just happened left him feeling confused.
Things during the pause did not exist for him.
But he knew that his life must have been threatened, otherwise the life-saving effect of the divine contract would never be activated!
Thinking of this, Baron Bezos pulled off the messy shirt on his body.
Looking at the chest, there is a tattoo of two intersecting rings that is becoming fainter to the naked eye.
"The divine contract has expired..."
"Ophelia really has a back-up plan!"
"But what happened just now!"
His teeth couldn't help trembling, and he said in an erratic tone.
Although there is no memory of the time-stop period in my mind.
But the body faithfully retains the fear of death.
Baron Bezos touched the tattoo on his chest and showed a pained expression.
It was this tattoo that helped him teleport away from the time stop just now.
And it is the product of a divine contract!
This was the chance to save his life that Baron Bezos paid a huge price to make a contract with the gods many years ago!
For this he paid for ten years of life and the ability to have children for the rest of his life.
He already had a child at that time, so he could readily accept this condition.
The tattoo is branded on his body and will activate when he encounters a fatal crisis, instantly teleporting him to a designated safe location within range.
Moreover, the energy level of the teleportation is very high, even exceeding the current level of [Flash in the Same Domain].
After all, [Flash in the same domain] is only a short-distance displacement, and the number of times of strengthening is not many. It is indeed not high in the energy level of the space system. If it is replaced by [Cross-border], that is another matter.
It is precisely because of the existence of the divine contract.
Therefore, Bezos can break through the blockade of magic interference and time stop.
At that time, [Time Suspension] was still in effect, but he himself moved to another place.
So this does not mean that the divine contract is broken, but it is just another way to temporarily save Bezos' life.
Now that his life-saving means have been exhausted, he still can't figure out the situation at that time!
After breathing for a while, Baron Bezos took out a mirror.
The mirror was rippled, and after it returned to calm, it showed the scene in the castle banquet hall.
This picture is relatively blurry, has a wide-angle stretching effect, and can recall the previous scene. The effect is almost infinitely close to that of Blue Star's surveillance camera.
When Baron Bezos adjusted the scene to the incident, his expression became dull.
Stopping time is equivalent to adding a period of non-existent time.
The screen shows that after the garrison and crossbow shooters entered the banquet hall.
Ophelia, Ursula and the guy wearing the iron mask disappeared.
Even he himself is no exception.
There is no scene where Baron Bezos is attacked or teleported away throughout the entire scene.
One second it was fine, the next second the person was gone.
This change is very sudden, strange and incomprehensible!
Baron Bezos, who had experienced it personally, suddenly felt horrified.
He put away the magic mirror, stood up tremblingly and left the secret room, where he found his close confidant and the snake-man butler.
The life-saving effect of the divine contract was no longer available, which gave Baron Bezos a strong sense of crisis.
"Go...to the garrison...to the Qingqi battalion!"
"Let everyone rush to the White Rose Caravan's station!"
...
North of Magtan City, in the Misty Mountain Canyon.
On a moonlit night, a white mist so thick that it cannot be dissolved filled the entire mountain.
There are ancient ruins and mysterious caves hidden deep in the canyon.
Above the creeping dampness many dark shadows swayed in the mist.
Ansetus Axl was wearing a long red coat and standing in front of a strange rune altar with a stern expression.
There was a black vertical pupil between his eyebrows, flashing with weird eyes.
This altar is like a large circular pool, with dense lines all over the edges and sides.
These lines extend all the way to the bottom of the pool, intersecting to form a strange pattern, with magic cores inlaid on the nodes.
But now the pool is filled with bright red viscous liquid, making it hard to see clearly.
And there was thick fog a few meters in front of him.
Suddenly, the bright red liquid in the pool began to surge, and a burst of air blew in front of him to disperse the mist.
A huge, ferocious head like a small house poked out of the fog.
Its skin is covered with black scales the size of a shield, and it also has horns of different lengths.
The yellow vertical pupils were stained with a little blood red, and a column of air with the smell of sulfur spurted out of the nose.
This was a terrifying monster. When it poked its head out, it spoke in a loud voice.
The fangs in its mouth are like long awls, which can easily tear into pieces.
"Axo, are you ready for the blood pool sacrifice?"
Its voice was like muffled thunder. The sound waves alone could dispel the surrounding fog, and the air flow even stirred the ends of Ansetus' hair.
Ansetus was seen standing on one knee, holding a fist against his heart with his right hand, lowering his head to report.
"Master, the blood pool sacrifice is ready." "
The other seven altars, including skinning sacrifice, bone evisceration sacrifice, and eye and tongue sacrifice, have been set up." "
A total of 7,279 blood slaves were used, including those in Mt. Those miners."
After hearing what he said, the ferocious giant head shook with satisfaction.
"Well done."
"Magtan City will cease to exist soon..."
"No, the entire Naroa continent will cease to exist."
"Silver Moon's blockade will soon be ignored here, in this place. Tear the first gap in the corner!"
"And you, Axl."
"Please be grateful for your encounter with me back then!"
"By then, you will get the eternal life you want."
"Okay, wait until the two-wheeled demon The moment the moon rises to the middle of the sky, all the altars will be activated and the secret door passages around Magatan City will be forcibly activated!" The
huge head suddenly stopped talking as he said this, and then retreated into the thick fog.
Ansetus, who was kneeling on one knee, slowly raised his head.
He closed the vertical eyes on his forehead, but his original eyes were filled with tears.
But his expression was indifferent.
This is a contradictory performance.
"Fake, all fake."
"Only eternal life..."
He murmured to himself, his eyes gradually deepening as he looked at the rippling pool of blood.
Yes, everything he has done over the years has been fake.
Whether it is to continue the glory of the Akso family or to do business, it is all fake.
All this stems from ten Naloya years ago when he mistakenly entered the misty canyon and saw this terrifying sealed being and the hidden cave within the seal.
Since then, he has embarked on a completely different path.
The news about the Dark Gold Mine also came from this gift.
And his wife, Sharon, whom he loved deeply, was killed by him because she discovered this secret...
Ansetus still felt heartbroken and guilty every time he thought about this.
However, there is no turning back for many choices, and any of his past seems ridiculous.
Ever since he made his choice back then, he was destined to have only one way to go.
In fact, he knew what Yusula did, but he didn't care.
He lay dormant for nearly ten Naraya years.
He used money and connections to collect various materials and gradually lifted the seal of this place.
This makes this a "black box" area unknown to ordinary people.
Gently wipe away the tears falling from the corners of his eyes, this is his last attachment to family.
I raised my head and looked at the gray and green moons rising slowly in the sky.
