"Who?!" Nicole quickly looked in the direction of the sound. At the same time, he quickly touched his arms with his right hand and touched the pen barrel-shaped witchcraft artifact.
But before he could turn his head, he felt a chill on his neck, and then a voice from close range came from behind him, "Don't move, your head will fall off if you move it."
Nicole's body stiffened, and she subconsciously wanted to push the object in her hand to the ground. The next second she felt a sticky touch on her neck, and a line of blood followed the gravity down her neck.
At this time, Claire slowly walked out from behind Nicole, put his hand into her arms, and said softly, "I told you, don't move. Or if you think the transmission speed is comparable to my movements, you can try it."
As Claire spoke, he moved his outstretched hand along Nicole's right hand to the pen holder, a witchcraft artifact. With a slight tug, he grabbed the "pen holder" into his hand. During this process, Nicole wanted to resist a little, but unfortunately he was not as strong as Claire.
After getting the "pen holder", Claire took back the dagger pressed against Nicole's neck. Without the "pen holder", Nicole was just a toy that he could handle at will.
The moment she retracted the dagger, Nicole seized the opportunity to resist, but as soon as she had the intention to strike, before her hand reached halfway, Claire grabbed her wrist with a backhand, and with a slight twist of skill, she pushed Nicole's whole body to the ground, and her beautiful face was piled directly on the stone bricks.
"Ugh! Let me go!"
Claire ignored the other party, but picked up the pen holder in his hand and looked at it carefully. It looked like a pen holder when viewed from a distance, but when viewed up close, more information can be obtained. This is a bone product, which seems to be a bone of some kind of giant beast, polished into the shape of a pen holder, and the ability to affect the spatial structure is attached to that bone.
"Huh!" Claire breathed into it, and then put the bone cylinder into his own Spatial Ring.
Nicole was pressed to the ground and asked, "How did you find me?"
After appreciating the back bone, Claire finally had time to reply to her. He looked at Nicole with an expression that looked like an idiot and said, "Didn't I tell you before? Your group is organized and has clear goals. Your purpose was very clear from the beginning, which was to come to this building. After a little thought, you will know that what you want is here. If I don't squat here, where can you squat?"
Nicole: "..." It makes sense, and there is no way to refute it.
But Nicole doesn't think it's because of his stupidity. You didn't expect it when you looked at other wizards. If you want to blame it, it's because this kid is too smart...
Continuing to press Nicole to the ground, Claire took out a Sorcery Chain from Spatial Ring, which was taken from Martin's body. It can suppress the energy in the bound wizard's body and prevent him from using witchcraft.
After tying Nicole with Sorcery Chain, Claire picked up the heavy Ancient Tome that fell on the ground. After lightly patting the dust on it, Claire started to read it.
He looked at the book and walked towards Nicole, staring at the content in the book and asked, "What is this?"
Nicole pursed his lips and turned his head to the side, looking generous and willing to sacrifice: Even if you kill me, I will never tell you!
Claire Seeing that the other party didn't make a sound, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked over, and said calmly, "Are you sure you don't want to say that?"
Hearing Claire's plain words, Nicole's body felt as if electricity passed through him, and the scene of Claire killing the fat wizard resounded. He gritted his teeth unconsciously, and his heart was trembling.
After a while, he muttered, "I didn't say it, I didn't say it..."
Claire's expression became friendly again. He sat cross-legged next to Nicole, spread Ancient Tome in front of her, and asked softly, "What is recorded here?"
Nicole said hesitantly, "There is a record of how to open this door, but there seems to be something wrong with it after I tried it, and it can't be opened at all..."
Listening to Nicole's words, Claire nodded, and moved his fingers across the page that Nicole had opened before. From time to time, he looked up at the mural on the stone wall.
Claire nodded while watching. It's quite simple. Just like cryptography, you can see the special information marked on the mural, then refer to the corresponding characters on the book, and after certain calculations, you can get the secret key to open the door.
Seeing that Claire actually studied that book, Nicole's eyes showed a trace of disdain. She had been studying this thing for more than half a year before she had the confidence to do it. Now let me show you, you can see the ghost!
Nicole Although she was disdainful in her heart, it was only in her heart that she was still in a weak position and was afraid of being beaten when she said this.
Then Claire seemed to have devoted himself wholeheartedly to Ancient Tome's success. His expression became more and more serious, and he looked up at the murals on the stone wall more and more frequently.
Nicole still maintained disdain in his heart: Just look at it, you can see the flowers.
When this thought passed by, Claire closed the Ancient Tome in his hand, making a deep sound.
Nicole The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, hum, I'm just saying, how can I understand, it would be wise to give up now.
Nicole The thought just flashed across his mind, and the next second his jaw was so open that it was about to dislocate. That boy actually condensed the symbol to unlock the portal?!
You must know that she had to practice this unique energy operation method for ten days and a half to make energy gather into symbols. How could this guy master the technique so quickly?!
"It's okay, it's okay, he just mastered the technique of condensing symbols, whether that's right or not is another matter." Nicole comforted herself in her heart, didn't she also condense it herself? But the difficulty in unlocking the portal is not at all, but in calculating the correct key to open the portal. This is where she made the mistake, otherwise the portal would have been opened long ago.
Claire slowly but firmly wrote out all the symbols he had deduced in mid-air one by one, and then those symbols with energy gathered disappeared into the stone wall in front one by one.
During this process, Nicole's inner journey was like riding a roller coaster. On the one hand, she wanted to see this portal open, but on the other hand, she didn't want Claire to be able to open this portal.
After five or six seconds, the stone wall still had not changed at all, and the boulder in Nicole's heart finally fell to the ground.
Relaxing, Nicole said slightly proudly, "It seems there is no difference between you and me."
Claire glanced at Nicole in confusion. He had never experienced the complicated mental process of Nicole just now, but he still said, "The difference is huge. Let the bullets fly for a while."
The moment Claire finished speaking, the stone wall in front of him began to change. It changed from a material entity to an illusion. After a few seconds of change, it finally became like a water mirror, with waves rising from time to time.
"Huh?" Nicole was dumbfounded and couldn't close his mouth. This, this, this... how is this possible!
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Nicole said in confusion, "I have been practicing for more than half a year and still can't solve it, but you just watched it for a few minutes, how could you possibly solve it!"
Claire was a huge blow to her. Nicole is now beginning to doubt life. She has never praised her talent since she was a child. How could she be defeated by others in witchcraft, and in a crushing manner.
"How is it impossible?" Claire glanced condescendingly at the absent-minded Nicole, "If hard work is effective, what else should a genius do?"
"Genius?" Nicole raised his head and repeated.
Claire smiled slightly, "What? Don't I look the same?"
