Chapter 192 Roaring Fish, Coordinate Changes, Arrival

Most of the stalls display materials related to Warcraft, including animal skins, animal bones, organs soaked in jars, bone and flesh carvings, magic tools... and even living creatures.

What Ronan was asking about was a living creature kept in a transparent tank.

It looks like a miniature piranha, but it has a pair of baby-like white and tender feet that kick around in the water. It looks lively and weird.

The stall owner is a middle-aged wizard with pale skin, level one, with a black mole the size of a mung bean on his lip. He has a cold temperament and is obsessed with the study of flesh and blood alchemy. Most wizards who deal with corpses all year round are like this.

"Your Excellency has great taste. This roaring fish is the product of twenty years of research."

When the middle-aged wizard saw Ronan asking, he immediately put on a smile on his face and introduced him eloquently.

Although Ronan had tried his best to keep a low profile, and even tried his best to restrain the mental fluctuations belonging to a second-level wizard, the young and handsome face revealed under the wide hood, as well as the unique temperament naturally exuded, could be clearly perceived if he got a little closer.

A wizard with a little bit of discernment can easily tell that he comes from a big power, and he is by no means an ordinary member of a big power organization. He must be the best at the same level to have such a calm and confident demeanor in his movements.

The battle for the Horams Wizards seat is about to begin, and all the geniuses from the southern wizarding forces are out and about. They have seen a lot of people like Ronan in more than a year.

Ronan, with the permission of the middle-aged wizard stall owner, slightly put his spiritual power into the transparent jar.

The strange creature named "Howler Fish" immediately opened its mouth and let out a piercing scream.

The invisible sound waves released with the screams pushed all the water in the transparent tank to all sides and stuck tightly to the tank wall. Ronan felt a slight mental shock and was a little surprised.

This roaring fish suddenly reminded him of a necromancy spell he had learned during his apprenticeship - [Howl of the Dead]. The methods of the two were similar. They both produced sound waves through screaming, which had a certain impact on mental power.

However, the ability of this roaring fish is much more powerful than the zero-level spell [Howl of the Dead], and it actually has a certain impact on his mental power.

Although it was just a slight feeling of dizziness, one must know that Ronan's secondary purified mental power was more than ten times more powerful than an ordinary late-level wizard.

What surprised Ronan even more was that the roaring fish's sonic attack seemed to be targeted. Except for him, the stall owner and the nearby wizards were not affected in any way.

Was such a magical creature really researched by a mere first-level wandering wizard?

Ronan looked up at the middle-aged wizard stall owner and asked, "How do you plan to sell this roaring fish?"

The middle-aged wizard perked up and quickly reported a few things. After hearing this, Ronan shook his head and replied: "I only have magic stones."

The middle-aged wizard was a little disappointed, but he quickly replied: "Five thousand! Five thousand high-grade magic stones, and this fish will be yours."

"impossible."

Ronan said calmly: "Unless it is coupled with the cultivation technology of this roaring fish. The roar attack effect of this kind of fish is indeed good, but if I didn't guess, this thing probably won't live long."

As he said that, Ronan glanced at the roaring fish in the tank that had already calmed down. It seemed to be just a little sluggish on the outside, but he was extremely sensitive to life fluctuations and could sense that after a roar, the fish with baby feet in the tank The life energy contained in the body has obviously been consumed a lot.

This is a fish that roars with life.

The middle-aged wizard's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "I can't hide it from you, you can take away two thousand or two thousand high-level magic stones. But I'm afraid the cultivation technology is not good, and it's not that I don't want to trade it, but this technology is not available yet." Not perfect yet”

"Three thousand."

Ronan looked calm and interrupted the middle-aged wizard, "Tell me where you found this fish.

Don’t worry, I won’t reveal it to a third person. If you don’t believe it, we can sign a contract.”

The middle-aged wizard's expression changed. After a moment, he grabbed an old animal skin from the corner of the stall, wrote something on the skin, and handed it to Ronan.

Ronan readily paid three thousand high-grade magic stones and used his space ring to put away the tank containing the roaring fish in the stall. Before preparing to leave, he glanced at the stall and picked up a small box containing a one-horned black beetle. Ask the stall owner: "What is this?"

"Not sure."

The middle-aged wizard shook his head, "I found it in an abandoned ancient secret realm. After studying it for a year, I found out that the body fluids it secretes can be used as a preparation for some low-level medicine. Maybe it's just some kind of ordinary ancient insect with a relatively long life. Bar

If you like, feel free to take it. "

"Thanks."

Ronan put away the box containing the unicorn beetle and said calmly: "I have always been interested in this kind of gadget. It is indeed a collection that I have never owned."

The middle-aged wizard smiled and said nothing.

Among wizards, the hobby of collecting rare insects is not even considered a quirk.

After leaving the booth, Ronan happened to receive a reply from Grace——

"Sister Serena told me the reason frankly. She said that my soul is special, and the aura I exude is very helpful to her and can promote the growth of a certain ability of hers."

Ronan looked at Grace's reply, thought about it, and asked, "Did she ask you to do anything?"

"Just..just"

Before Grace could finish her words, the voice on the other side of the communication stone suddenly stopped.

The arraignment was abruptly cut off.

Ronan was slightly surprised, but he didn't take it to heart, thinking that Grace might have something else to do suddenly. He was more interested in the two things he had just got.

"Sister Selena."

Grace stood in a room surrounded by bookshelves, nervously tugging at the hem of her robe.

In front of her was a blonde woman wearing a wizard's dress.

The woman was very young and beautiful, with skin as smooth and delicate as porcelain, lake green eyes, and a noble and elegant aura.

"Who have you been talking to for the past few days?"

The woman walked to the desk where Grace often sat and asked gently, "Is it the boy who saved you once in the Mechanical Heart? It seems that our Grace has really fallen in love..."

"No, no. Just a friend."

Selena kept defending herself with a blushing face.

The woman chuckled and did not continue on this topic. She just said softly: "Grace, I'm a little tired. Can I rest here with you?"

"Of course."

Grace nodded, then quickly took a velvet blanket from the bed and spread it on the woman's body. She bent down and gently rested her head on the woman's legs.

"Have a good sleep, Grace"

A faint white light bloomed in the woman's hand, and her movements gently stroked Grace's cheek.

Grace's eyelids became heavy at a speed visible to the naked eye. She yawned soon and fell asleep in the woman's arms.

After Grace fell asleep, the woman quickly adjusted her state. She closed her eyes, and a complex and mysterious golden rune appeared between her eyebrows.

A strong white light began to bloom on her body.

These white lights slowly condensed on the surface of the woman's body, as if forming a pair of exquisite and luxurious armor.

"Ronan"

On her knees, Grace muttered a few words unconsciously, turned over, and slept more soundly.

Similarly, the white light condensing on the blonde woman seemed to accelerate a bit, and the golden rune at the center of her eyebrows grew synchronously, and the breath became more mysterious and obscure.

At night, Ronan set up a defensive and isolated rune array at the bottom of a secluded and deserted valley. Taking advantage of the starlight, he took out all the things he got at the sunset gathering during the day.

The situation of the roaring fish in the transparent tank was worse than Ronan expected.

It was almost half-upward floating on the water, with its mouth wide open, and it looked like it would die completely at any time.

"This thing can't only roar once in its life, and burst out all its life potential at once?.

No wonder the stall owner agreed so readily, I'm afraid he would agree to sell it even if it cost a thousand high-level magic stones."

Ronan thought while observing the state of the roaring fish in the tank.

Ronan stretched out a finger and gently pressed it on the transparent tank. Through the tank, he injected the life energy of the vitality ball in his body into the roaring fish in the tank little by little.

The latter's nearly "dying" state gradually improved, and soon turned over and swam in the water again, but Ronan realized that this was only a temporary solution.

The life energy he injected into the roaring fish was also constantly dissipating, and the soul of this little thing also broke with the roar in the daytime.

"If you want to study, you still have to find more similar life species."

Ronan opened the old animal skin given to him by the stall owner, and the four words "Green Glittering Abyss" were written on it in sloppy handwriting.

Taking out the southern map given by Costi to search, Ronan found that the so-called "Green Glittering Abyss" was close to the edge of the western side of the southern continent, just near the Qifeng Port where Old Wells, Venisia and others went.

"I can find a chance to go there."

Ronan thought to himself.

The roaring fish is very strange. It is a creature that Ronan has never seen before. The life fluctuations it emits are probably only at the level of a zero-level magic beast, but the roar attack it bursts out can affect the mental power of a second-level wizard.

If we can figure out the way it makes sounds, combined with [Howl of the Dead Souls], we may be able to research a good mental attack spell.

Of course, Ronan is more interested in the ability of the roaring fish to burst out its vitality in one breath.

The technique of [Unsullied Body] to compress life energy to achieve "ancient giant demonization" was figured out by Ronan a long time ago. The idea is very clever, but the operation method is very rough.

With the increasing proficiency level of [Austerity Body Forging], Ronan has the idea to further optimize and transform this technique of compressing vitality and then bursting it. He thinks there is still a lot of potential to be tapped here.

Especially after the fusion of the "Ancient Frost Hydra Bloodline", the physique has grown twice in addition to [Austerity Body Forging].

"The 'complete giantization' state is no longer the limit of what my body can bear now, but I can only achieve 'complete giantization' now, and it can only be done under the premise of sufficient external pressure."

Ronan looked at his hands, which were slender and white under the starlight in the dark night, as if they were glowing.

This is a pair of hands suitable for playing the piano or the harp, but as long as Ronan wants, he can turn it into a pair of giant claws like a monster in one breath.

"My technique of compressing vitality is too primitive and crude. As the life light ball grows bigger, the compression becomes more and more difficult. The growth of mental power can't keep up with the rhythm. This aspect must be improved, otherwise this trump card will be eliminated sooner or later."

Ronan replenished the life force of the roaring fish in the tank to ensure that it would not die in a short period of time, then put it away, and then turned his attention to another small box containing a mysterious black beetle.

In fact, what Ronan really wanted to buy at the stall during the day was the beetle in the small box, and the roaring fish was the unexpected catch. Opening the box, Ronan placed the black beetle on the back of his right hand.

In the moonlight, he looked carefully at the mysterious black beetle.

It has a single horn, a shiny shell, and its abdomen is covered with densely packed arthropods and thin legs.

Were it not for the occasional movement of those thin legs, the beetle could easily have been dismissed as a dead insect specimen.

Ronan's eyes flashed, and some gray marks gradually appeared on the back of his fair and smooth hand.

Along with the appearance of this gray mark, the motionless black beetle lying on the back of Ronan's hand actually released a strong emotion of restlessness.

It moved, the carapace on its back opened, and it spread out two pairs of thin and transparent wings. It wanted to fly away, but it was firmly imprisoned by Ronan's mental power and could not break free.

Gradually, some translucent unknown liquid began to leak out from under the belly of the black beetle. Ronan frowned. When he was considering whether to clean up the thing that seemed to be the beetle's "urine", all the translucent unknown liquid was completely covered by the back of his hand. Gray traces on absorption.

The color of the trace gradually deepened, turning from gray to black, and then it started to squirm like a living creature.

After about an hour, the black beetle on the back of Ronan's hand became completely silent.

Ronan took it off and saw a long series of weird and twisted symbols clearly printed on the back of his right hand, like a tattoo.

"this"

Ronan's eyes flashed, and his expression was indescribably complicated.

These were the world stone coordinates that he accidentally obtained in the Ancient Mirror Garden. Kirsty had not extracted them completely, and some traces remained.

He sensed the presence of the beetle in the Sunset Market, and it was precisely because of this coordinate trace that he sensed the mysterious beetle.

"It seems that the coordinate imprint has changed"

Ronan reached out and poked the strange symbol of unknown meaning on the back of his hand, but there was no response.

He tried to infiltrate his spiritual power.

"Hiss—roar—"

In an instant, countless twisted and broken images flashed through Ronan's mind. Deep in the space of consciousness, in the shadow that could not be completely cleared away, the dormant ancient consciousness of Hekarto also rioted at the same time.

"Huh-huh-"

Ronan suddenly let go of his hand. Under the light of the stars and moon, his face was as pale as a brand new piece of white paper, and his forehead and back were covered with beads of sweat.

"That's...what?!"

Ronan looked at the series of strange symbols on the back of his right hand with a horrified expression.

He had no memory of what kind of pictures this string of symbols had just conveyed to him. The only impression he had was the same "distortion, chaos, madness, and destruction" atmosphere revealed by those pictures.

This breath even caused the ancient frost hydra bloodline in his body to riot, which was suppressed with great difficulty.

"Is it possible that even Hekarto's remaining consciousness feels uneasy?"

Ronan looked at the incomplete and hazy moon above his head, and a guess came into his mind that he didn't dare to accept.

"Is what I just saw the scene in the different world corresponding to the coordinates?"

Because he absorbed the body fluids of the mysterious beetle, the coordinates transformed into another mark, which seemed to have a deeper connection with the space of another world, so he could "peep" through this mark to see some scenes of another world.

If it was as he guessed, then it would make sense that the ancient Garden of Mirrors, which was so powerful at the time, decisively stopped the experiment, listed it as a taboo, and even destroyed the World Stone, so that the entire force hurriedly moved away.

Because the aura of that world that Ronan felt was really terrifying.

He just caught a glimpse of the afterimage, and he was almost doomed.

"This matter must not be known to the people of the Ancient Witch Resurrection Society. Once they know that this coordinate is connected to such a terrifying world, God knows what crazy things they will do."

Ronan gritted his teeth and thought.

But as soon as he thought about it, his face became a little ugly again.

Because maybe the people of the Ancient Witch Resurrection Society already know full well that the cleanup three years ago has continued until now, but no one knows how deeply the power of the Ancient Witch Resurrection Society has penetrated in the south.

"What a big trouble. I hope this trouble won't involve me anymore."

Ronan had a sullen face and silently concealed the strange symbol on the back of his hand. The mysterious beetle that caused the transformation of the coordinate mark was also put away again by him.

He already regretted buying this beetle. The more he knew about some things, the deeper the involvement would become, which would only increase his worries.

Three days later.

Next to a huge lake.

Ronan wore a gray silver robe and stood by the lake, quietly watching the huge snake body of the Ice Crystal Demonic Snake slowly sinking into the lake.

A thin layer of ice gradually began to form on the lake, and corpses of frozen aquatic creatures continued to float up.

Ronan frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but at present, he seemed to have no other better way besides doing this.

Now he is very close to the ancient fairy city, and there are probably only a few days left.

The closer he got to the ancient goblin city, the more Ronan could feel an invisible trend gathering forward. There were too many powerful wizards, which made him finally change his original idea and give up bringing the ice crystal snake with him.

No matter how confident Ronan is in his own strength, he cannot guarantee that he can keep the Ice Crystal Demon Snake in the place where countless powerful wizard geniuses gather in the whole south.

This kind of ancient snake species is almost inevitable to attract the covetousness of others, especially when he and the Ice Crystal Demon Snake are still quite weak now.

Originally, he wanted to use the Ice Crystal Demon Snake as a magic pet to become a great helper when he participated in the battle, but now he thinks it’s better to forget it.

Seeing the Ice Crystal Demon Snake completely disappear in the lake, fortunately, the lake is deep and large enough. After the Ice Crystal Demon Snake sank to the bottom of the lake, the blood coldness it naturally carried also converged.

If there is no detection method like [Eye of Truth], it is still not easy to detect the existence of a powerful monster under the lake with only the naked eye and mental power.

Even if it can be detected, if it is not known that it is an ancient alien species like the Ice Crystal Demon Snake, it is estimated that no wizard will go out of his way to provoke it.

Ronan felt a little relieved, turned the flying ring on his hand, and continued to move towards the direction of the Fairy Ancient City.

Ronan had considered the problem of the Ice Crystal Demon Snake a long time ago. This guy was destined not to be exposed for a long time. If he wanted to carry it with him as an assistant, it would be best to have a space storage prop that could store magic pets.

However, special magic pet storage props are much more precious than ordinary space storage props, and they must be able to accommodate the huge size of the Ice Crystal Demon Snake.. I am afraid that even if there are, he can't afford it now.

Above the vast hilly plain, a series of figures in robes broke through the clouds and flew quickly.

One of the figures suddenly pressed down from the air and landed lightly on a slope covered with withered yellow weeds.

"Finally... here."

Ronan narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him.

Between the green and yellow hills, there were densely packed tents of different colors, and countless wizards walked through them, like a huge circular chessboard. Even though he had been mentally prepared, Ronan was shocked by the number of wizards who came to witness or participate in this battle.

You know, everyone here is at least a first-level official wizard or above.

The further you go in, the higher the level, second-level, third-level, and there may even be dawn wizards above third-level.

Ronan didn't believe that there were no dawn wizards coming to watch the battle.

"It is indeed the first grand event in the southern wizard world. The Southern Wizard Genius Gathering, the Heramus Wizard Seat, competes for the inheritance of the natural law guardian."

Ronan murmured softly, and soon, his expression returned to calm, and he slowly walked down the slope.

"Hu——"

A huge shadow wrapped in a whistling wind suddenly passed over Ronan's head, causing a long period of slight commotion in the crowd in front of him like a wave.

Ronan looked up and saw that it was an extremely huge yellow bat, with a tall and thin figure sitting cross-legged on the bat.

The latter was like a cold and scorching sun, unscrupulously emitting the powerful mental power fluctuations of his third-level wizard all the way, with a arrogant attitude, and went straight to the center of this circular gathering place.

But just after stepping into the area at the edge of the innermost ring, the young wizard riding the yellow giant bat was attacked by several spells at the same time.

Amid the explosion and roar, the battle broke out instantly. The violent aftermath of the spell caused some people to disperse quickly, and the tents on the ground also moved one after another.

From Ronan's perspective, it was like a stone thrown into a muddy mud pond, splashing water and mud.

"It feels like a grand event is about to begin."

Ronan looked at the erupting battle group and muttered to himself, feeling the blood flowing in his body getting slightly hot.

The south is very large, and most of the wizard forces are isolated.

Although there will be friction between forces, it is not as fierce as the current battle that brings together almost all the wizard forces in the south.

Different spell systems, different spell schools, different inheritances, and different wisdoms are about to be confronted and confronted here.

What kind of sparks will be produced during the collision. Just thinking about it makes people feel excited.

"It's the scenery I want to see"

Ronan exhaled lightly, his eyes flickered, and he slowly calmed his restless heart.

"I don't know if Angele is here yet"

He naturally remembered what Angele said to him on the Goblin Plain three years ago. With his character of wanting nothing but chaos in the world, it should be impossible for him to miss this grand event.

Now he is probably hiding in some corner, lazily observing everything.

Ronan stopped in front of a temporary stall that specializes in selling space tents. While the other party was introducing it, he sent a message to Orian and Grace that he had arrived at the ruins of the ancient goblin city.

As a kind of space storage prop, the price of a space tent exceeds that of ordinary space storage props, after all, it is for living.

But it is not too expensive, because the internal space of an ordinary space tent is not actually large, only two to three times the size of the external space.
