As May 15th approached, Reilo could feel more and more clearly the eerie power emanating from the strange demonic eye atop the Gulan family's domed castle growing stronger.
The stronger the attraction one feels to them, the more intense it becomes!
Reilo had been silently observing this strange, demonic eye for two days.
Although he couldn't discover the secrets of this magical eye, through his observations over the past two days, Reilo was astonished to find that his connection with the power of the moon seemed to have become even stronger.
These past two days have been almost equivalent to two separate reflections on moon-gazing.
It's almost certain that Reilo...
This demonic eye must have some deeper connection with the moon, and it is very likely the core secret of the Gulan family.
"Um..."
After a moment of contemplation, Reilo slowly took out the <Book of Sealing>.
Through the cover of the book, I could feel the subtle fluctuations of sand and flame energy within.
A growing sense of intimacy.
"The two Wrath Bead orbs have been used up. I now have two Moon's Mark on me. I don't know what dangers might be inside, so I'd better prepare in advance."
Muttering to himself, Reilo took out an energy crystal, and after the tip of the Flaming Dragon Roar Magic Wand turned into flames, he smashed it down again and again.
After the Flame Dragon Wand struck two energy crystals in succession, the flames at the top of the wand absorbed enough power to suddenly collapse and condense into a dark red fireball the size of a fist.
The fireball contained an incredibly powerful amount of energy.
According to Reilo's intuition.
If he were to be struck by this Gravity Fireball, even the <1024 Nights> Guardian Shield at its peak would likely be shattered, almost equivalent to the three consecutive attacks by Official Fighter he had suffered on the Scholar Street.
The solidified ring flashed, sealing the Gravity Fireball.
This solidified ring was specially crafted by Reilo during his travels in Fladick; it is a high-grade solidified ring.
Unfortunately, the energy intensity of the Gravity Fireball was simply too astonishing.
Even this high-grade solidification ring can only last for two days at most before it slowly dissipates.
the next day.
On the marble plaza, Reilo glanced around and saw that there were about three hundred people gathered there.
To his surprise, Reilo discovered another familiar student at the Grand Natural Sciences Academy, in addition to the psychic brothers Hell and Noel.
During my first trip to the Furnace Mountains, I had a brief encounter with Dylan, a [ [Survival Expert] ] and a descendant of the Nio Family.
A handsome face, standing calmly.
In Dylan, Reilo could sense a similar Grand elite aristocratic feel to Orn: gentlemanly humility and unwavering persistence.
However, the reason Reilo noticed him was because he was currently confronting a female student from Zealand.
Flame Soul Witch, Purple Flame!
However, Zi Yan seemed to have changed significantly compared to a year ago. His hair was much shorter, his former arrogance had become much more restrained, and he had become more mature.
As for the conflict between the two, it was because a year ago, when Dylan rescued Reilo and his group, he defeated this female student from the Xilan Duchy, which motivated her to work even harder. Finally, in just a few months, she became one of the strongest first-year students at the Xilan Natural Sciences Academy.
Give me information about the Eye of the Sun, and I'll forgive and forget what you did!
Zi Yan's voice was cold.
"Let bygones be bygones?"
Dylan smiled slightly.
"I heard that after you escaped last time, you found [ Inferno Demon Man ] Ximo Xiong, and that's how you broke through several barriers in such a short time. I fought him once recently, and his power of fire was indeed beyond imagination. I just wonder, how much of Ximo Xiong's strength do you have now?"
Reilo stood quietly in the crowd, watching the two of them.
Like most people, he seemed to be just watching the show.
" Inferno Demon Man, Flame Soul Witch, those are the most popular titles in the Zealand Arena. Interesting."
On the surface, he appeared to be idly watching the spectacle, but in secret, Reilo used the hunting mark of the X Mask, silently landing it on Zi Yan.
A huge X-ray mark, a mark that only Reilo could see.
Having done all that, Reilo stopped paying attention to the place.
According to Reilo's observation, it seems that quite a few elite students have secretly arrived from the six academies.
As the initiators of the Eye of the World, the Guyue Family seems to have become the representatives of free scholars, sending out fifteen explorers in one go, each of whom is an elite member of the family.
Especially the man and woman who were leading the group.
Reilo was astonished to discover that these two people actually looked to be in their thirties or forties, yet they maintained a level 0 Energy Magnetic Field?
In addition to numerous scholars, smaller families from the Morsi Duchy, such as Mitya, sent Apprentice Fighter. The number of Fighter from these smaller families was almost equal to that of the scholars, with about a hundred fighters on each side.
The standoff between Dylan and Ziyan lasted only a moment.
In a place like this, all the two could do was exchange a few harsh words.
As per usual practice.
Exploring the Eye of the World, aside from a few who die from traps and evil creatures, the vast majority of the adventures involve explorers plundering and killing each other. It is precisely for this reason that many people, like Reilo, wear masks to conceal their identities and avoid unnecessary trouble.
The sun is setting.
Gradually.
The sky began to darken.
The eerie energy emanating from the demonic eye atop the domed castle grew increasingly intense.
Even Reilo could clearly sense that today seemed to be a special day, and that his subtle connection with the moon seemed to have been strengthened in some way.
Just then...
Several elders of the Gulan family slowly emerged from the domed castle and stood on the high platform, looking down at the crowd in the square.
Elder Wade, who was in charge of receiving Reilo, seemed to have a low status among the family elders and could only stand at the very back of these people.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for attending the Guyue Family's annual Eye of the World exploration event! The Eye of the World that the Guyue Family has summoned this year has been 133 years since the last communication. The requirement to enter this Eye of the World is that you must be a level 0 magic apprentice or a Apprentice Fighter. Those who do not meet the requirements should leave as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Entering the Eye of the World will present many strange requirements.
Reilo already knew this.
"Furthermore, while the Eye of the World contains some ancient civilization treasures, it is also accompanied by a large number of evil creatures. A slight mistake could lead to your demise. Please be extra careful."
Everyone was naturally prepared for this.
"Now, we will distribute the Spirit Eye to everyone. Once you arrive in the Eye of the World, simply input energy into the Spirit Eye for 30 seconds at a designated location, and you can leave. As for the return location, it will generally be near the Morsi Duchy. Each person will receive one Spirit Eye, so please keep it safe. The Spirit Eye's effect only lasts for three days and only works when paired with the Sacrifice Eye. Once damaged, you will no longer be able to leave the Eye of the World."
After the old man finished speaking, the members of the Guyue Family, carrying trays, came out one after another.
These trays were filled with small red boxes.
A short while later, Reilo also received a wooden box.
Upon opening, an eyeball of an unknown creature with a pale red pupil, emitting an eerie aura, lay quietly inside the wooden box.
After about half an hourglass period.
The blood-red full moon in the sky cast its ancient, ethereal, cold, and ominous pale silver light upon the earth.
Affected by this, the ten-meter-tall eye atop the hundred-meter-high domed castle seemed to have been stimulated, its eerie pupils rotating 360° continuously, as if searching for something.
Such a bizarre scene.
Not only the people in the square, but also the people of Ercheng looked up and gazed at the scene.
This feeling!
It was as if some terrifying creature was peering through the bottle's opening at the people inside. In the brief instant that horrifying demonic eye swept over him, Reilo felt as if his blood was about to freeze.
"The entrance to the Eye of the World is about to open. Everyone get ready, form groups of ten!"
The elders of the Guyue Family were giving instructions.
Reilo was accompanied by a female scholar in a red robe, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, and a male scholar as well; they came together.
After glancing at the group assignments around him, Reilo, who was alone, naturally joined the group of the two.
Sudden!
As the magic eye in the sky suddenly stopped, a ray of moonlight shone into the castle.
The group walked into the domed castle in small groups, and soon it was Reilo's group's turn.
"Not Space-Time Altar?"
To Reilo's astonishment, the group walked up the wooden ladder to the rim of a huge stone bowl.
The stone bowl is about ten meters in diameter. A beam of moonlight refracted down from the top of the castle and shone directly on the rim of the bowl.
The servants of the Quran's family are placing large amounts of offerings into stone bowls.
Just as Reilo had guessed, in addition to a large number of energy crystals and special Magic Material, the offerings also contained an astonishing number of eyeballs!
"Remember, the effect of the Spirit Eye only lasts for three days!"
As the old man gave his final instructions, Reilo's body contorted with a strange fluctuation.
However, this feeling was completely different from the first time I was teleported to a spacetime node, when it felt like my arms were being stretched into noodles.
Everything went black.
This time, Reilo felt as if he were being sucked into this unknown space, along with the many offerings in the giant bowl, by something that sucked in noodles.
