You call this magic?

"That thing isn't right. It doesn't look like a human, let alone an elf. Even if your magic can break her defenses, by the time she comes to her senses, we might not be able to escape. This is called a strategic retreat."

Even if you are determined to die, you shouldn't die in vain like this. This is probably what he meant.

Ethan typed a question mark?

No, buddy, don’t you understand what I’m saying?

But after thinking about it, I realized that I was indeed injured, no wonder this guy could grab me and run away so easily.

Levi, holding Ethan, quickly hid in the armory, which was the place they passed on the way up. It contained a large number of weapons confiscated from magicians and warriors, as well as several unactivated golems.

As long as Minus didn't catch up, it would be the same no matter where they were.

"Are you sure they didn't chase you out?"

"No, you've asked me that four times."

In any case, Minus did not chase out. Even when Ethan recalled carefully, she seemed to have been standing there since the two of them went in, without moving a step.

Is it because you don’t want to move, or you can’t move, or is there some other reason?

Ethan didn't quite understand it yet, but one thing was certain.

That is, the value of this great magician is slightly low.

Was it Minus's instinct to study magic that saved them? Or was the life and death of these two invaders meaningless in the face of studying magic?

No matter which one it was, Minus completely ignored the two of them.

Levi leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, and took off his tattered leather armor... and the chain mail underneath.

"Fuck you, you fucking bastard..." Ethan looked at the deeply hidden chain mail and looked at the other person with empty eyes, "Bastard."

"You know, this thing is useless against magicians." Levi took off the chain mail as well. This thing might be effective against other warriors, but it would be a burden against magicians.

In the battle with Minus, he didn't suffer any external injuries, mostly internal ones, but they were barely minor injuries, so he still had no problem fighting.

However, the suppression of the soul has always existed. No matter whether it is Levi or Ethan, there is a sense of sluggishness in everything they do.

Ethan had successfully stopped the bleeding and applied a simple bandage, but there was no time for more in-depth treatment.

Fortunately, there were a lot of things in this room, and Minus probably didn't check them at all. He just threw the personal belongings of the killed magicians and warriors here.

"How long will it take for your magic power to fully recover?" Levi just felt it was ridiculous that one day he would actually cooperate with a wild magician, and a monster who was a fellow practitioner of a warrior magician. This made him feel that the world is impermanent.

"Very quickly." Ethan was meditating when he was not talking. As long as he temporarily turned off the passive function that increased his magic power, his magic power recovery speed would be greatly enhanced. In just a short while, his magic power had recovered more than half.

Before, this recovery speed made even Fulilian feel speechless and as if something was stuck in her throat.

In Fulilian's vision, the boy's magic power was changing day by day, and the growth rate was even faster than the adaptation rate of his physical body. The magic power even affected his physical body in turn. Generally speaking, this might even lead to symptoms such as "magic poisoning", but this boy in the groove was actually fine.

Ever since Ethan knew how to suppress his magic power, Fulilian never checked the power of Ethan's magic power again.

That being said, this only allows Ethan to compare himself. There is no comparison between him and Fulilian.

Anyway, as for magic, it's enough as long as it's sufficient.

Injecting more magic power into an existing spell can indeed increase the power of the spell, but if too much is injected, it is more cost-effective to cast several identical spells in a row.

When Fulilian said this, she felt like she was in a desperate situation, so Ethan just acted like an ostrich.

"You recover slowly, I'll go find out if there's anything useful." After saying that, Levi walked directly into the depths of the warehouse. The warehouse was very large, and scattered with various relics of adventurers killed by Minus. If he looked carefully, he might be able to find a way out.

After Levi left, Ethan closed his eyes and began to meditate, emptying his mind. In this case, the speed of magic power recovery would increase further.

Very good, it will only take about thirty minutes to maintain this state.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

Ethan suddenly opened his eyes because he felt as if something was touching him.

From the face to the shoulders, and even gradually moving downwards, the movements became more and more wrong.

Damn, I knew Levi was a Nantong!

Ethan was shocked and angry, but when he was about to fire a zero-range Red Fire Cannon, he found that what appeared in front of him was actually a golem.

It was not the large golem over two meters tall that he had seen outside. This little thing was only about one meter tall, with small limbs and a big head. Its entire torso gave Ethan the feeling of an isosceles triangle.

Nest grass, Lala fertilizer!

No, what did this do to me? Is this still Fulilian's world?

After a closer look, Ethan found that this little thing was completely different from the Lala Fei in his impression except for its size. It still looked like a golem, but unlike other golems, there seemed to be some patterns carved on its body.

It was not aggressive at all. The key point was that the golem had no facial features, so Ethan had no idea what the little thing wanted to express to him.

But then he thought again. If his previous theory was correct, then this fat Lala... no, the little golem should be carrying someone's soul. So he immediately asked, "Are you a victim of Minus's persecution and forced transfer of soul?"

The little golem nodded repeatedly, grabbed Ethan's sleeve with its little fat hand, and pointed to a corner of the room with its other little hand.

Seeing that Ethan didn't respond, the little golem became anxious and jumped up and down, but because it couldn't shout, it could only try to roll on the ground to attract his attention.

This little thing is quite cute... No, now is not the time to think about that.

"Are you trying to show me the way? Is there something over there?"

The little golem nodded vigorously.

Ethan hesitated for a moment and stood up. Even if he went to find Minus later, he would be killed. He might as well go with it to see what was going on.

Not far from where Ethan was meditating, there was a garbage dump filled with broken armor and debris. The little fairy rolled over and crawled into the gap. Not long after, she crawled out holding a small box.

Ethan immediately took a step back. Although you look like you want to give me an adventure, I, Ethan, am not a three-year-old child and will not be easily fooled.

The little golem looked at Ethan's actions and seemed to be very hurt, but it just lowered its head, put the small box on the ground, and then slowly backed away, squatting in the corner, hugging its short legs, and just looking at Ethan.

God knows how Ethan could tell "grievance mixed with expectation" from that blank face.

Ethan raised his hand and launched a magical attack.

The box was blown several meters away by the shock wave, but it was unharmed, and more importantly, it did not react at all.

This is somewhat interesting.

Ethan came to the box, looked at the little golem, then looked at the box, and finally reached out his hand to the box.

Volume 1: The Burial of Fulilian (Part 1): Chapter 34: The Proof of the Holy Staff (Revised)

This box is weird.

This was Ethan's first reaction after getting it, because from the moment he got it, Ethan felt that his magic power was being absorbed, but not very fast.

It's just like some old man with a ring that absorbs fighting spirit...oh?

After feeling the speed of absorbing magic power, Ethan felt that it seemed to be exactly the same as the speed of recovering magic power during meditation, or even slower. So he simply sat down where he was, hugged the box and began to meditate.

Seeing Ethan close his eyes, the little golem carefully climbed up and began to circle around Ethan. It didn't look like it wanted to attack him, but rather to help keep watch.

An hour later, Ethan opened his eyes again and felt that the box's absorption had stopped.

Seeing this, the little golem immediately moved three meters away, hid behind a suit of armor, and cautiously stuck its head out, as if it was afraid that Ethan would hit it.

This little thing is quite interesting. It should contain the soul of a child.

Ethan's gaze returned to the box at hand, and he saw that the box, filled with magic power, automatically unfolded, like a treasure chest made by a master of mechanical engineering, which required magic power as the key to open it.

If it was a treasure chest like this, Fulilian probably wouldn't be fooled.

Inside lay a plain badge, but upon closer inspection, Minouse's name was engraved on it.

He had seen exactly the same thing at Fulilian's.

The name is - the proof of the holy staff.

This certificate was issued by an unknown generation of magic organization before the establishment of the Continental Magic Association. Since even Minus has it, it must be quite impressive.

He first tried to input magic power again, but found that this thing was a complete insulator of magic power. However, when it lay in the palm of his hand, he felt that his sense of sluggishness disappeared directly.

When he was about to look at the golem again, he found that the golem had disappeared. Just like before, it was hiding in a place where Ethan could not find it.

"Damn it! I was hoping to trade it for a sword, but this lousy place has nothing."

At this time, Levi just came back cursing. It seemed that the little devil wanted to avoid this guy.

interesting.

Hanging the Holy Staff Certificate around his neck, Ethan raised his head and said:

"Normal. In Minus's eyes, only souls and weapons are needed. Everything else is just trash that can be thrown away."

"That's right." Levi sighed, "However, although I don't have the sword, I found this."

He stretched out his hand and showed Ethan a dagger. Even from such a distance, Ethan could feel the sharpness of the blade. This thing... I'm afraid it can really cut through iron like mud.

"It's indeed a weapon that suits your profession. Golems aren't very good at assassinations."

That's right, when he walks, the earth shakes.

No, he just saw a fat golem that was suitable for assassination.

"Come to think of it, why did you change your location?" Levi only then noticed that Ethan's meditation location was not the same as before.

"Here." Ethan picked up the box in his hand, which of course had been closed again.

He had just tried it. After closing it, he had to input magic power again if he wanted to open it again... Turtle, his abnormal recovery speed had to be doubled to barely make up for the consumption. Without a strong magic power, it was impossible to fill it up at once.

This should be a disposable magic lock prop specially developed by Minus for hiding things.

Fulilian should be able to open it, but her magic power has been cultivated for more than a thousand years. Unless she has a recovery monster like Ethan, she can only rely on her foundation.

"What is this?" Levi held the box with a strange look on his face.

"Open it and take a look."

"Open it and fight... What the hell is this?!!" Levi put in so much effort that his veins popped out, but the box didn't move at all.

After that, he tried smashing with armor, chopping with a sword, and even asked Ethan to perform a killing magic.

The box didn't move.

"Is this the reason why you suddenly cast a spell just now?" Levi's mouth twitched.

"I probably can't figure this thing out. Take it back and let the Imperials try to crack it."

"No, you're just going to give this thing to me like that? What if it contains some shocking secret?"

"Let's get back alive first. No earth-shattering secret is as important as life."

Levi played with the box for a while and said:

"I suspect you opened it in advance and took the things inside."

"Haha." Ethan said expressionlessly.

"Are you trying to fool a fool?" Levi threw the box aside. "I am a high-level agent trained by the Empire. High-level, understand?"

Again, if the two were not about to fight the BOSS, this conversation would inevitably lead to a fierce battle.

However, now they all have a common enemy. No matter what the reason or excuse, they cannot fight among themselves, let alone stab each other in the back.

Besides, after spending some time together, the two of them developed a revolutionary friendship.

At least before killing Minus, they would tacitly agree not to really turn against each other.

"If you can leave alive, just let me see what you got." Levi said.

"Then you should wait for the next life."

"Looks like I'll have to find a way to make you owe me another favor." Levi picked up his sword. He had changed into a set of light-looking equipment, but he was still wrapped tightly. God knows what he was wearing underneath. "Let's go. I'll lead the way. Has your magic power recovered?"

"almost."

……

Coming to Minus's door again, Levi did not hesitate at all this time. The moment he pushed open the door, he flashed to a place very close to Minus.

At this time, the bindings that Ethan had just released on her body were no longer on her body. It was unknown whether they had automatically dissipated when the time was up, or whether they had been broken immediately after the two escaped.
