Chapter 63 Gathering
The dazzling flash and violent air currents exploded next to the empty art building, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. When Curt, who sent Oscar back to the dormitory, noticed that the strange light arrived at the scene, the surrounding area of the art building had been blocked by the guards of the academy.
This road is the only way to the Yin Yao Tower. Such a commotion quickly attracted many people to watch the fun. They seemed to have encountered a carnival that only once a few years ago. While watching the messy scene, they whispered to their companions beside them, with curious smiles on their faces.
Among the apprentices with different costumes, there is a very harmonious color.
Dozens of apprentices wearing uniforms and carrying pockets behind them surrounded the scene. It seemed that they were on the way to astronomy class, so although most of the apprentices stood on tiptoe and looked at the scene, only these students stood a little far away and used the telescope in their hands to assist in observation.
There was a crowd at the scene, but Curt captured a familiar atmosphere in the crowd. He slowly walked to the shadow that the crowd did not notice, and said to the air as if he was talking to himself: "It's really rare. How long did you say I haven't seen you move in this form?"
Perhaps reacting to what he said, Curt felt that the temperature around him suddenly dropped a lot. The hot air of Xia Yeben suddenly turned cold, and even a thin layer of frost hung on the grass leaves that survived the outbreak, and bent down and shivered.
"It's been a while since it's not necessary." Liqi's somewhat tired voice rang in Curt's mind. "I understand now what 'use of advancement and withdrawal' means. I accidentally adjusted the power of the Magic Cube array too much at one time, and the magic power was consumed a little too much."
The cold center gradually approached, and the grass covered with frost at Curt's feet was curled up in white. Although Liqi, who had turned into a soul form, Curt still clearly felt that there was a human figure emitting a cold air beside him.
The tiredness she said this time was no joke. Curt could hear the sounds she passed from the soul connection seemed weak. The spell that had not controlled her strength just now consumed her excess magic power, and she would not be able to return to normal for a while.
Human magic is basically preserved in the body. Because the soul that leaves the body loses its container, it only retains the magic power used to form the body form. Using large-scale spells in the form of the soul is just like literally reducing the soul.
"Actually, there is no need for you to do this, right?" The expression on Curt's face changed slightly, but this expression was as difficult as fleeting ripples. "Occasionally, you should also pay attention to your health. If you are too keen on investigating and forgetting to damage your body, it will be more cost-effective."
Cutting the soul to release spells will damage the essence of the soul. Such damage is not irreparable, but part of the damage suffered by the soul will be indirectly projected onto the body, which will also affect the body's functions. The spell released by Liqi is very large in scale, and the corresponding damage is not small.
After yawning, Liqi's voice was also tired, but she obviously didn't take it to heart: "You don't have to worry about hurting your body or something. The magic I consumed just now is completely within the range of deliberate acceptance. I know how much I can do now, and you don't have to worry too much."
"Okay, okay, if that's your will..." Curt's eyes turned to the crowd of onlookers, took her words and said, "So can you tell me what happened to allow you to release the spell just now in your soul state?"
"Of course, but before that..."
Curt suddenly felt that his lips seemed to touch something cold. This thing penetrated into his mouth and melted on his tongue. After a while, the magic stored in his body flowed like water through the cold area of his mouth to somewhere outside his body.
"Let me borrow some magic to replenish it first. There is no problem with maintaining the remaining magic now, but it is not enough to directly convey the memory to you through connections."
The cold feeling is still extending deeper, starting from the lips, it slowly spreads in Curt's body. As soon as the magic power scattered in the body is touched by this chill, it is immediately condensed into a high-concentration magic flow, and then directly pulled out by Liqi and converted into its own nutrients.
He muttered half-jokingly: "Hey, do you want to squeeze me dry?"
Liqi's speed of pulling out magic was exaggerated, but in just a few seconds, the magic in Curt's body was pulled out by half. He felt deeply tired from the bottom of his heart as if he had just had a big battle. The dizziness caused by the loss of a lot of magic in a short period of time almost made him unstable.
"Sorry, I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time. I'll get too excited if I don't pay attention..."
Liqi apologized honestly and pulled back the "cold" that pierced into Curt's body. However, she did not return the magic power drawn from Curt's body, but instead sent all the things she had seen after her soul left the body not long ago as a "return gift" into Curt's mind.
"Why are there these things in the academy?"
The flashing memory fragments in the academy, the large illusion buildings covering the art building... These are just traces left by the deposition of the academy's history. However, those strange souls who use illusion buildings as nest caves should not exist in these areas.
There are usually two causes of undead creatures.
First, because the remaining idea of "unwilling to face death" before death is too great, the creatures transcend the dead line and exist between life and death with their own power; the other is that they are affected by external forces, such as the catalysis of corresponding spells, which transform the creatures into dead living creatures.
However, neither of these two types of undead people should exist in the college. The college has no soil to cultivate these existences on the surface. Moreover, these souls that are pursuing Liqi are undoubtedly very aggressive. The college cannot allow such dangerous things to be kept in a place where people often pass by.
"How could I know why those things appear in this place?" Liqi said angrily, "Those souls have obviously shown signs of evil spiritization, and they chase after people when they see them." Liqi began to tell Curt about her own opinion, "But this transformation process is not very natural. They are killed by various cruel methods when they are alive, and then they use special methods to make their current appearance."
"There is another strange thing. I think these strange souls cannot be all produced on this land. Either they gathered around the art building themselves, or someone brought them here and bound them around the art building."
No matter which one it is, this building is quite suspicious.
"To be honest, it was completely beyond my expectations to meet such things." She sighed, and murmured, "Before entering, I looked at the memory fragments, and I didn't expect that there was actually a fortress. For the fortress, there were so many guards waiting for me. As soon as I entered, I was chased by those guys. It was too much."
Curt saw from the memories provided by Liqi that under the bombardment of the large magic cube array she had just compiled, the "fortress" had fallen apart. Memory fragments that continued to stage images, the dark fragments that formed the walls, and the souls who acted as guards were all smashed into pieces by the huge torrent built by the light in that outbreak. Now all that is left there is a frame that is still falling.
"Even if this is a fortress, you used a 'bomb' to blow most of it into the sky." Curt felt funny. The magic cube array prepared by Liqi was probably just planning to blow away those enemies who were chasing them. But because they did not control the amount of magic filling, they involved the fragments that formed the afterimage. "I have to say that your big explosion was really exaggerated."
From the effect shown by the magic cube array carved by Liqi before the outbreak, Curt could see that the spell she used was the basic spell "Yaoguang" used to attack spirits. However, if a "Yaoguang" that can only attack spirits burst out with a blast that blows away the actual object, the magic power that Liqi fills into those magic cube arrays is not explained by "not controlling the good power, exerting a little more force".
Liqi didn't take Curt's teasing to heart, and smiled and said, "Originally, I just slightly improved the design and added the effect of absorbing the surrounding magic. But I didn't expect the effect to be so exaggerated. It seems that the magic power of boarding in those fragments is too abundant."
The result of this exaggerated effect is the glow that illuminates half of the sky. People nearby are suddenly attracted by unusual phenomena. People located in the distance have also become interested in this place because of the abnormal gathering of people and are slowly moving towards this place.
Next to the art building where people were crowded, the academy guards in black uniforms surrounded the teachers who came. They communicated in a low voice, and the atmosphere became a little sinister. It seemed that they did not care much about the apprentices watching around them, but just kept them at a certain distance from the scene.
Slowly walking to the shade of a tree that was a certain distance from the crowd, Curt smiled on his face: "It's so lively. I don't think it will take long for even that Cruise François to be attracted. I don't know what that guy will do about this matter then."
"It's best if that guy who has never appeared can be attracted by this commotion. I haven't seen him look like." As if he had thought of the same thing as Curt, Liqi also smirked, "There is such a large-scale evil spirit nest cave in the academy, and I don't think he doesn't know."
The commotion continued, and the sound of vehicles driving in the distance came from the distance, and more people were approaching.
