"Hiss, that teleportation array is indeed an incomplete teleportation array...'
Colin gently covered his head with his palms.
The ability of the teleportation array to protect the flow around the space should be weak. The sudden space transformation made him feel a little mentally uncomfortable.
After a moment, he composed himself and put down his palm.
"This is..." Ant on the side whispered in confusion.
The discomfort caused by teleportation mainly comes from the vibration of the soul. In addition to being related to the teleportation array, the degree of pain is also related to the strength of one's own soul. It is not the same for everyone.
The great knight Old Jack and the ordinary person Anna beside them were already pale, and they faintly wanted to vomit.
But at this moment, Ant looked like Colin, only slightly dizzy, and he was the least painful among them.
…Perhaps it’s because of the frequent use of that rare item that can disguise oneself—the Sighing Blood Crystal?
Colin thought silently, raised his head again, turned his neck and looked around.
Faces of gray-black rough walls made of unknown materials suddenly came into view.
It looked like an empty secret room with the door closed, with nothing else but the silver teleportation device at their feet.
"Ante, what information do you know about this place?" He looked away and asked while walking down the scrapped teleportation array.
"I'm sorry, Lord Leonard, my father didn't tell me much information about the other side of the teleportation array... Well, to be precise, I asked, but he basically didn't say anything."
"I only know that this is an island next to Quinte Island...perhaps, this is the building that my father once built to protect the teleportation array?"
Ant said as he helped Anna follow his footsteps, with Old Jack following closely behind.
Colin nodded slightly and came to the stone door directly in front of the teleportation array.
But just when he was about to tentatively open the stone door, the door suddenly opened automatically, revealing the smooth and clean passage behind it.
"..." Colin retracted his arm, a faint doubt appearing in his heart.
"Barca, the iron tree is really blooming. I didn't expect you to be able to use the teleportation array!"
At this moment, a mature female voice suddenly chuckled.
Immediately afterwards, a strange figure suddenly walked out from the corner of the passage ahead.
The moment she walked out, the two parties looked at each other and fell into a stagnation.
"Who are you, where is that guy from Barcelona?"
After a moment, the strange figure suddenly asked.
The strange figure is made of dim unknown silver metal. It looks like a female wizard. The witch robe and hood are all simulated, and it is lifelike... but the face is blurry and cannot be seen clearly.
If you look carefully, you can still see some frightening golden violent light on top of the dim silver on her body.
"At least a third-level wizard..." Colin felt a chill in his heart and bowed respectfully.
Just as he was about to tell everything, he suddenly heard Anna behind him hesitantly shouting:
"Zeheti?"
After her words fell, the place suddenly fell into silence again.
The silver wizard slowly moved his gaze to Anna. Although his expression could not be seen, he could clearly see his displeasure.
The next moment, she asked in a deep voice:
"What is your relationship with Barcelona?! Why do you know my name?!"
Crack, crackle!
Substantial pale golden lightning suddenly emerged from Zeheti's body and hit the nearby gray-black walls and ground, making her look like an exploding violent electric ball!
Colin's expression suddenly changed.
"I am the daughter of the Basa wizard!" Anna shouted quickly.
"..." Zeheti's momentum suddenly weakened, and those golden electric lights disappeared instantly like phantoms.
The next moment, she used some kind of witchcraft that Colin had never seen before, and gently swept the four of them, as if to confirm something.
"Anna..." After a moment, Zeheti put down his arm and said hesitantly.
Although the face hidden under the hood was blurry, it clearly showed embarrassment.
Then she turned her head and looked at Ant beside her and said hesitantly:
"Are you Ant?"
Anna and the two nodded.
Ant looked at his sister in confusion.
"You may not remember, but when we were very young, this was the name our father whispered in our ears most often." Anna explained.
"So, she is..." Ant was startled and stuttered.
"That bitch from Barcelona only let you two come here? Where are the others?" Zeheti suddenly shouted, his tone a bit irritable. Listening carefully, it seems a little unnatural, as if he is changing the topic.
After hearing this, Anna and Ant fell silent, looking a little sad.
Zeheti seemed to realize something, and his expression became hesitant, solemn, and unbelievable.
After a moment, words that she had expected but never wanted to hear came out gently from Anna's mouth in front of her.
"Father...has been dead for a long time."
Click!
Like a bolt from the blue, a golden lightning bolt as thick as a bucket suddenly spread out from Zeheti's side.
The powerful energy made Colin and others in the distance suddenly feel their bodies numb, and their hair exploded involuntarily.
However, the building here seemed to be specially made. Under such lightning, the walls on both sides were only slightly broken.
"Come with me." After a while, Zeheti finally calmed down. She looked at Anna and she said softly.
Then he paused, seemed a little unnatural and turned his head away and said softly:
"Maybe... you can call me - mom."
Although they had some expectations in their hearts, the expressions of Anna's sister and brother still changed again and again after hearing Zeheti's words.
'If the powerful witch in front of me is the mother of both of them, then why has she never come to see me, and my father has never even talked about her.
And... Zeheti is so powerful, why didn't he come to Pahama Island to save his father? ’
The lips of the two siblings moved, but they still could not say the title.
Zeheti did not embarrass them, turned around and continued:
"Let's go, I still have many things I want to ask you..."
"Your Excellency Zeheti." At this time, Colin suddenly spoke, and he quickly explained,
"Sorry to disturb you at the moment, but I am not a member of the Basa family. I just came here by chance on the teleportation array, and there are still very urgent things that need to be done. So, can you let me leave here first?"
After saying this, Colin looked at Zeheti, hesitating in his heart whether to tell the mysterious witch in front of him.
Zeheti turned around and looked at the first-order wizard who had been ignored by him.
"Mom... Mother, Pahama Island has been occupied by gods. This is the benefactor who saved Ant and me. Without him, we might still be trapped on Pahama Island, or maybe... already dead."
Anna on the side suddenly explained solemnly.
"God..." Zeheti muttered with a frown, then waved his hand slightly impatiently.
"You go."
Click click click.
Then a wide gap suddenly opened in the secret room behind Colin, and the rich light of the setting sun flowed in.
"Thank you, Lord Zeheti."
Seeing this, Colin gradually gave up his thoughts, said a word of respect, and turned around to leave.
"Leonard Wizard!"
But Ant behind him suddenly stopped him, then took off the Sighing Blood Crystal he wore on his chest and gently threw it at him.
Colin subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the Sighing Blood Crystal.
But Zeheti in the distance suddenly caught the pendant with a slight hook.
"Sighing Blood Crystal... This is not a good thing." She held the Sighing Blood Crystal in her hand, turned to look at Ant, and suddenly frowned.
Crack, crackle!
Golden lightning like a thin snake instantly enveloped Ant.
"ah!"
Ant subconsciously screamed, but the next moment he suddenly realized that he did not feel any pain at all, but instead felt a comfortable numbness.
The numbness in the chest was the strongest, and amidst this numbness, Ant suddenly felt that his chest, which had been aching due to long-term use of the Sighing Blood Crystal, suddenly no longer hurt.
In other words, at least half of the pain has gone away.
"Let's go."
Zeheti said to Anna and Anna again.
"Wizard Leonard, thank you. Ant and I will keep this life-saving grace in our hearts." Anna suddenly turned to him and said solemnly.
"Thank you, Lord Leonard." Ant also responded and thanked Anna together.
He had an inexplicable fondness for Colin...perhaps because of his silent and calm personality and strong strength?
Ant didn't know, but he subconsciously said one more thing:
"Sir Leonard, if I am free in the future, I will come to visit you."
"No need to worry, it's just that everyone gets what they need..." Colin didn't care, looking at them and said softly.
Then he leaned towards Zeheti in the distance to express his gratitude, then turned around and walked towards the secret room, rising towards the sky.
"How come you are so weak? Anna, you are not a wizard? Is this a piece of shit like this that Basa takes care of you? You ruined my bloodline..."
Amidst the howling wind, Colin faintly heard Zeheti complaining about something.
'Isn't Anna not gifted as a wizard...'
Shaking his head, he collected his thoughts.
No matter what secrets Anna and others are hiding, those are already matters of the Zeheti family...
He now has more important and urgent things to do.
Uh-huh!
But at this moment, a ray of silver light suddenly shot out from the gap under his feet that had not been completely closed, and headed straight towards him!
It was evening at this moment, and the setting sun was slowly sinking where the sea and sky met in the distance, and the red water was rippling.
The silver light with golden dots was as fast as lightning, and before Colin could react, it stopped in front of him without any trace of fireworks.
"This is?!" Colin, who was still in shock, took the silver light hesitantly.
After flying out, he found that this place was a small dark brown desert island. The area was not large, it was only about the size of a football field in his previous life. There was no clue that an official of at least the third level was hidden here. wizard.
So at that moment, he thought it was Zeheti who was planning to kill him who knew about this hermitage.
But... fortunately it was just a false alarm.
That silver light, if you look carefully at this moment, is actually a small silver ball with golden gaps like a spider web.
Powerful energy escapes from it...it should be some kind of witchcraft tool.
‘Perhaps it’s to make up for not getting the Sighing Blood Crystal, or simply to thank myself for saving Anna and her sister? ’
But no matter what, this move by Wizard Zeheti made Colin suddenly change his mind.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly descended to the inconspicuous protruding rock slope he had left earlier.
"Your Excellency Zeheti," he said loudly.
After waiting for a moment, the rocky ground beneath his feet cracked again.
Colin returned to the secret room.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Zeheti and Anna were looking at him doubtfully.
"That's it, Your Excellency Zeheti..." Colin took a breath, no longer hesitated, and told the third-level wizard in front of him the information he knew about the elves.
As a first-level wizard, he is really undervalued, and Mentor Atbald was seriously injured and far away in the Siya continent. Senior Sister Lilian is also missing at the moment.
Zeheti, who was barely connected to him, was already the highest-ranking wizard he knew.
If you can persuade Zeheti, a powerful sorceress, you can gain some confidence in this trip.
"You're saying that the high elves have perished, and the rest of the elves have all fallen to the side of the gods. The reappearance of the tree elves to help are spies hidden among the wizards?"
After listening to Colin's story, Zeheti subconsciously confirmed.
She can't believe it...
What Colin said is more like a bizarre story!
"Everything is true, Your Excellency Zeheti." Colin said solemnly.
Perhaps after hearing about the Elf Kingdom, Naxi, who had been hiding in the hood, suddenly peeked out of the back of his neck to take a curious look at Zeheti.
Then he seemed to be frightened and immediately shrank back.
"Is this an elf?" Zeheti asked, "Is it from the legendary elf country you mentioned?"
Colin paused and shook his head.
"There is almost no life left in the Elf Kingdom, only some strong trees are still surviving."
Out of selfish motives and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he concealed the information about the elves and the ancient tree of life.
He just said that he learned about the changes in the elves through the traces left in the elves' kingdom.
He was not afraid that his rhetoric would be exposed.
After all, the remaining branches of the ancient tree of life have completely died, and the restrictions on the mountains have lost their energy supply. Those spontaneous mechanical and endless pollution wind mechanisms will soon bury all traces.
By that time, the Elf Kingdom will indeed be desolate as he said.
It's a pity that the golden hammer certificate was turned into ashes when he left the Elf Kingdom, otherwise it could still be used as evidence... Colin thought subconsciously.
Zeheti looked at him carefully for a moment, then slowly looked away.
Then he pondered for a moment and then slowly said:
"The gods are the eternal enemies of wizards, and every wizard has the obligation to fight against them, even if it is just for themselves."
"So, if what you say is true, then this news is of great importance, and I will accompany you...and if what you say is a lie-"
Zeheti looked at him calmly and said slowly: "You will know the price of fooling a third-level wizard."
Colin's face was stern and he nodded seriously, but the joyful expression could not be suppressed on his face.
Seeing this, Zeheti nodded slightly, feeling even more confident.
She turned her head and looked at Anna and the three of them and said:
"As for you, just stay here and wait for my return..."
