Text Chapter 285: Chessboard World (9)

"Alyssa! Get the others out of there, the sooner the better!"

Xi Wei's voice startled Fate, who was lying on the window sill looking at the chessboard map in the sky, and almost fell through the wall and fell into the dirty alley downstairs.

She puffed up her face and turned around to argue with Xi Wei in a bit of annoyance, but found that Xi Wei's face was livid at this time, his hands were tightly clutching the edge of the basin, and his originally slightly delicate face looked a little ferocious.

"What's wrong?"

After realizing that Xi Wei's mood was not normal, Feite immediately floated to his side and asked.

After Xi Wei raised his hand and placed a sound-proof barrier on the quill pen, he gritted his teeth and said, "I was tricked, I was tricked by the Mage Association!"

On the back of his hand, the fate mark that ordinary people could not detect had already changed from azure blue to bright red, and it gave Xi Wei bursts of burning pain.

"What?" Fate looked at the scene displayed in the washbasin and asked inexplicably.

At this time, Xi Wei managed to calm down by taking a deep breath.

Floating in front of him was the system information page, which displayed not the old information that hadn't been updated for a long time, but a few pieces of bright red information.

[Your student "Riddle? Wise" discovered one of the ancient ruins "Altar of Burning Ceremony"]

[Your student team officially participates in the large-scale mission "Balrog Invasion", please make complete preparations before the mission starts]

[The large mission "Balrog Invasion" has been registered in the mission panel, please confirm later]

After looking at the mission panel, Xi Wei had a more intuitive understanding of the current situation.

"Feite, have you heard of the organization 'Burning Ashes Ceremony'?" He first asked the ghost girl.

The girl thought hard for a while, and finally shook her head to express that she had never heard of it.

In fact, after becoming a ghost and losing her brain as a medium for recording information, the girl has almost forgotten some unimportant things in her life. If it weren't for the fact that magic is more about soul perception, I'm afraid that even her knowledge of magic would decline...

Of course, this symptom has improved after having the Three Sages system as a carrier.

"That is a magical organization that existed in the age of mythology. Speaking of history, it is older than the Church of White. Regardless of race, almost all of its members are fire element magicians or monsters with fire element magic abilities. Wandering around the earth in a red robe, advocating flames and destruction, bringing fear to all kinds of creatures." Xi Wei turned off the system page, and explained to the girl with a serious face: "It's just that the organization in the Age of Mythology has been destroyed. It was not until after the Great Migration that the descendants of the remnants recovered a bit of the climate and formed the "Red Lotus Holy See" intending to re-establish people's belief in flames... but in the end it was still due to the extreme omissions of its teachings and the pure whiteness. The Holy See’s deliberate suppression disappeared.”

"What does this have to do with what you said was calculated?"

The ghost girl became more confused the more she listened, and finally asked honestly.

"Because that building (Xi Wei pouted at the building displayed in the basin) was built by the Red Lotus Holy See." While explaining to the girl carefully, Xi Wei took this opportunity to sort out and figure out what he learned from the task introduction. Information obtained: "Inferred from the appearance, that should be a closed summoning altar, and there should be similar altars around."

Xi Wei actually deduced this point from the word 'one' in the sentence 'discovered one of the ancient ruins "Altar of Burning Ceremony".

"In addition, I don't think that the lights from hundreds of years ago can continue to burn until now, even if it is magic." He also pointed to the lights outside the building: "In other words, this is very likely to be an altar A performance that has been activated! And there is no one else who can activate this... except the Mage Association!"

Xi Wei didn't think that the group of Mage Association didn't even know that there was such an altar underground in the chessboard world. And if this kind of test is held after knowing and activating the altar, then their purpose is obvious...

"Are they... are they going to use students as sacrifices?!" Fate covered his mouth and screamed.

"No, if they need sacrifices, they won't open up this demiplane. Even if ordinary people die by a dozen or so, they won't pay much attention. If I'm not wrong, the real purpose of the Mage Association is It is to create an illusion that 'these altars were activated by students who entered by mistake'!"

"I was surprised by some of the details in this practical assessment before," he said with some annoyance: "The teacher who leads the team can enter the half-plane for too long, ten minutes is enough time for a high-level magic The master killed all the living things in a map; besides, although it is not as good as the teleportation array, the phase gate that enters the demiplane needs to be opened once. The consumption is not small, and the mage association cannot be idle and waste money In addition, whether it is the mystery that can get the badge of freedom, the setting that can snatch other people's badges, or the public enemy that roams the whole map, the only function of these settings is to hinder the students and prevent them from going to the finish line as quickly as possible. ; And there are those monsters that suddenly appeared... If you guessed correctly, they should have been domesticated, and they were specially used to drive the students to the designated place!"

"But does it do them any good?"

Feite was still ignorant, after thinking about it for a long time, she simply changed direction and asked Xi Wei.

"If my deduction is correct, this demiplane should have been controlled by the Holy See of the Red Lotus, and it is a demiplane with two spaces inside and outside! They use this demiplane to hide a large number of 'weapons' behavior, and these altars should be the nodes connecting the two spaces inside and outside, and if the altars really start to operate, the two spaces will be connected, and those located on the inside may be the weapons left by the Red Lotus Holy See. 'Maybe it will appear in the surface space..."

When Xi Wei was spitting and telling Fate the conclusion he deduced from the mission, he found that Fate seemed completely incomprehensible. In the end, he could only sigh, and picked up a sheepskin from the table Paper.

"Using this piece of paper as an analogy, the front is the world of the chessboard." He casually drew some grids on the front of the parchment, representing the world of the chessboard: "The reverse is the space used by the Holy See of the Red Lotus as a warehouse and even a manufacturing factory .”

Speaking of which, he also drew some grotesque creatures on the back to represent monsters.

The fact is the same. From the mission introduction, we can know that the world inside this demiplane is full of monsters that the Red Lotus Holy See originally planned to use as a secret weapon against the Pure White Church. It's just not clear why it was abandoned in the end.

"Xi Wei, your drawing skills are really bad..."

The girl looked at Xi Wei's painting, nodded involuntarily, and came to a conclusion.

"Whispering! As a magician, I only need to be able to draw magic circles!"

Xi Wei gave her a blank look and continued to explain: "Generally, the front and the back cannot communicate, so they also built an altar to realize the communication between the two spaces." Poke a few holes to represent the altar: "And after these altars are running, the monsters on the back can appear through the altars and invade the main material plane from the thinner front of the space barrier. Do you understand now?"

The girl shook her head resolutely: "According to what you said, it's not a good thing for the Mage Association to do this, right? Even a fool would not do something that is thankless to him."

"Although there are two spaces, they are located on the same demiplane after all, and the barrier between the two spaces is probably not too thick. It is estimated that a group of monsters will come from the inner space to the outer space every three to five times. If If you can't wipe out the monsters or take this opportunity to invade the inner space and destroy the lair that produces monsters in one fell swoop, even if the Mage Association has mastered this half-plane, it will be a headache, right?" Xi Wei rolled up the parchment and threw it into the trash Bucket: "If you only use the Mage Association's own strength to meet the enemy, although you shouldn't lose, you will also lose a lot of the backbone. Because of this, it would be great if someone can do it for you, and those who do it for you The candidates are obviously the students who entered the altar by mistake and the teachers who led the team... That's why I said I was calculated."

What Xi Wei said was very clear, and Fei Te finally understood.

"Let the students and teachers mistakenly think that the students who participated in the assessment released these monsters. Whether it is out of guilt or to protect their own students, the teacher must use up his intervention power to fight, and the Mage Association will sit back and enjoy this. The demiplane has been completely taken into the bag, and all five hundred magic academies have been counted in at one go... But, if someone exposes this, the Mage Association will definitely lose its reputation, right?"

"Except for me, I'm afraid there are no teachers from other colleges who can recognize the effect of this altar...they don't even know what this building is."

With the help of the system, Xi Wei, who checked the mission, even knew what would come out later. He said with a wry smile: "In addition, the Mage Association has mastered the most authoritative mouthpiece of the magic world, the Goddess Pravda. Compared with us who are penniless, everyone will believe there. And it is estimated that all responsibilities will be pushed to those The students who rashly entered the altar... This is one of the reasons why I told Alisa and the others to leave the altar quickly."

"Obviously he was the victim, but in the end he was named the culprit..." Fei Te showed a mixed expression of anger and sentimentality on his face.

"So before they have the ability to resist, it would be a good thing not to let them know the truth."

At this time, Xi Wei had completely calmed down, and he even had the time to notice other aspects—since the Mage Association would let the Pure White Church get involved, it meant that the Church knew about it, and even... this The demiplane is the bargaining chip that the Church uses to trade something with the Mage Association!

Xi Wei, who always felt as if he had come into contact with something terrible, frowned, sighed, and said to the ghost girl with a complicated expression: "Anyway, now you try to decipher the phase key leading to that demiplane , and also give me the address of the leading teacher of the Ixo School of Literature."

"Even if there is no way to resist the Mage Association immediately, at least..." He picked up the basin containing the potion, looked at the chessboard map in the sky outside the window, and revealed a little bit of unwillingness in his eyes: "At least we can't let them get their wish so easily!
