They stared at the long, dark corridor. The light from the gem disappeared for the first time. Bai En was used to this dim light, so his sudden extinction shocked him. It feels like the sun went down at noon. Guerrerogan continued to advance in the dark, and did not seem to notice the lack of light. Bai En couldn't help but be surprised by the dwarf's vision.

"We'd better start using the lantern," Grerogan said, shaking his head. "The lamps were destroyed. Damn orcs. Those jewelry should have been shining forever, but they just couldn't leave them alone. They can't be repaired now. The process of making them has disappeared."

Rubes Hagrid prepared a lantern. Oberon-Ravenhart ignited it with a word. Bane looked at them and felt that the gap between the Fatalin Society and Marnus ’s Academy of Magic was like the word that released the spell. Complex and long spells do not represent the depth of the study of magic and the effects of magic itself. This simple spell can prove the organization's depth of study of magic. He began to think about whether to try to change the research atmosphere of some associations after answering Fatalin, until he heard the groan of Grerogan from behind. Bai En turned to look.

At the end of the corridor, there is a green figure. It was an old dwarf with a beard. The light poured out of his body and then turned back. It looks transparent and tangible like soap bubbles. The ghostly figure wailed, making a faint, hissing sound, and stretched out its arms towards Grerogan. The oathbreaker stood there in shock. Fear seemed to overwhelm him.

Bai En recognized the color of the light. He had seen it before on the mountainside and in the cities above.

"Marnus protects us," Gar-Kepler shouted, and Bane heard the Templar's voice when he drew his sword from the sheath.

When the old dwarf walked forward, Bai En felt his hair shaking. The air seems very cold. He stung all over. The figure's lips moved, and Bai En felt that he heard a distant and vague voice. .

Guerrerogan moved a bit, moved forward, and then raised the axe as if to resist the next blow.

The ghost seemed to plead more frantically. Guerrerogan shook his head as if he didn't understand the other party's intentions. The ghostly dwarf hurried up and looked back, as if chased by an invisible enemy from afar.

Bai En clenched his sword, not knowing what he should do. If it is a ghost, Bai En's sword and the silver powder smeared on it will kill it. But Bai En is worried that this ghost looks like an old image, what made it exist here for so many years.

Surprisingly, the ghost collapsed quickly. It is like a mist before a strong wind, and part of it has flaked away. Before reaching Grerogan, it completely disappeared. When it disappeared, Bai En heard a cry of despair in the distance. It was the cry of a cursed soul, the cry that disappeared into hell. When Guerrerogan looked back, Bai En saw the expression of amazement on his face. He looked horrified and confused. A teardrop flashed under his eyes.

They hurried through the dark corridor very tacitly. Even when they reached a place where the light of the gem re-emerged, no one seemed to rush to extinguish the lantern. For a long time since then, the oath-breaker said nothing.

Morris wanted to drink a sip of spring water, which flowed into the ancient carving trough. When he felt a strong pair of hands grabbing his hair and pulling him back, he was leaning over the green glowing water.

"Are you crazy, humans? Can't you see that the water is polluted?" Guerrerogen scolded.

Bai En, who was watching the runes on the wall, heard the dwarf's scolding and turned his head. Just when Morris was about to protest, Oberon-Ravenhart looked into the water and saw a green spot.

"Magic Stone?" He said in surprise.

Bai En frowned. He strode to the carving groove and looked at the surface of the water as well. The spring water glowed faintly green with some green spots inside. Bai En felt that his blood was cold. He had heard that this terrible substance was the pure essence of some kind of evil power, which was pursued by evil alchemists in some terrible stories.

"What are you talking about, Master?" Grerogan asked briefly.

"I think it may be a magic stone. It has a green glow. Some academic works attribute it to those unpleasant substances. It is a glowing substance with a green light. If there is a little trace of the magic stone in the water, this It may be the main cause of variation in this area. "Oberon-Revenhardt explained.

"Where does this thing come from?" Bai En asked eagerly.

"Magic stone? There are many rumors, but only two are generally accepted." Oberon-Ravenhart replied. "One is a stone outside the sky, which is also a meteorite. The other is an accidentally made alchemist."

"A stone outside the heavens? A stone of the sage?" Bai En continued to ask. The book said that the stone of the sage is also called the stone of the heavens, the alchemy elixir, the ultimate substance. "Isn't the Sage Stone red?"

"Yes, but many scholars believe that the magic stone may have some connection with the sage stone." Oberon-Raven Hart paused and continued to explain. "In fact, many alchemists believe that the magic stone may be the product of the failure of the Sage Stone."

Bai En wanted to continue to ask in detail about the Sage Stone, but was interrupted by the dwarf's words.

"I have heard the ancient legend of monsters poisoning water wells," Guerrero said. "Are they even despicable to do this kind of thing with magic stones?"

"I heard people say that some orcs and ... monsters live by eating magic stones. Perhaps this has a dual purpose. It gives them food ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and also makes their enemies unable to use the well."

Bai En said skeptically: "You seem to be very knowledgeable about chaos, Mr. Reinhardt."

"Dr. and I have hunted witches," Gar Kepler interjected. "This task requires you to learn a lot of weird knowledge. Are you suggesting that any of my companions may be tainted by such a dirty business, such as trading with those brutal forces?"

Bai En shook his head wisely. He didn't want to face deadly warriors like Templars, especially the "cruel blade". "I apologize for my unjust suspicions."

Guerrerogan laughed. "There is no need to apologize. Be alert to all dark enemies."

Gal Kepler nodded in agreement. It seems that the dwarf has found a like-minded person.

"We'd better go forward," said Lubers-Hagrid, who looked back nervously at the way they came.

"It's better to drink what we brought, humans." The dwarf patted Morris's back before moving on.
