The trip between Houdini and Rassieman's delegation is not actually a "official visit" in terms of procedural terms.

Because of the royal face, Houdini did not tell others that this was a "friendly visit from the Kingdom of Rassieman to Elson City, the Iversa Territory", but asked Melinthella to write a letter in advance and make a visit in the name of "friend visit". This method is very smooth, that is, it takes care of Charles II's self-esteem and achieves his own goal... But Houdini probably did not expect that the lord of Elson City was really busy, and most of the information was handed over to Camilla for processing, but the letters of Melinthella visited were in private name, which read "Rody personally". Camilla would definitely not take this letter as a public property and read it casually.

So until now, no one in Roddy and the entire Elson City knew about the news that this mission was approaching. So when Houdini's convoy mistakenly entered the "magic experiment area" from the southwest, neither side realized their situation...

After the first magical alert post was demolished, Melinthra, who was sitting in the carriage behind, also stood up and looked, but after thinking about it, she still sat back - after all, the team was still more than thirty kilometers away from Elson City, and there was a dense forest between them, and there was nothing to worry about from any angle. Perhaps just like Houdini judged... This kind of post is just used to scare wild beasts.

With this idea, the team continued to move forward. But unexpectedly, after gradually entering the forest area, the sharp whistle of "magic alarm" began to sound more and more frequently around the convoy.

Houdini doesn't need to deal with this kind of thing, so the other magicians accompanying the team will naturally do it for them. At first, they will use their proud means to quickly cut off the sound of the magic post, and later they will even directly destroy the magic stone slabs standing next to the road without waiting for the trigger...

Houdini's brows became deeper and deeper, because through the facts seen in front of him, he had confirmed that the level of the mages who created these magic circles in Elsen City was really low-level - yes, it can only be described as "lower". Even the mage with such a bad level of magic circle portrayal, the lowest magic academy in the Kingdom of Rasimman will not take in it!

"If Elson is at this level, it's still disappointing..."

Houdini was obviously a little disappointed at this time. He came with a mentality of learning and admiration, but at present it seemed that even the magicians raised by the royal family were not as good as those raised by the royal family. The occasionally harsh whistles seemed to mock some expectations that appeared in his heart - floating technology has always been the most difficult problem for Lassiman's magic. If this problem is solved by himself, then the humiliation he suffered will be wiped out, and those who have made him suffer will be stepped on by himself...

But now it seems that I am still thinking too much.

Houdini, who was quite excited, sighed and then found that the carriage had suddenly stopped.

"Sir Houdini, a village was found ahead."

A servant came to report, and the news did not surprise Houdini. After all, it was normal to have a village outside the city, so he waved his hand and said, "Just pass through, don't disturb them."

"But...Sir, something seems to be wrong here."

"What's the meaning?"

Houdini was still immersed in disappointment, and his words seemed unpolite: "If you say the words intact, what else can the village be wrong? Can monsters pop up and attack us?"

"No, no, sir, we found...it seems to be an ordinary village--"

The mage lowered his head to explain while handing a wooden sign over from outside the carriage. Houdini's eyes sterned and he reached out to take it, and found a line of hastily written words: "Elson City Magic Test Area".

Below is a row of huge red letters: "Please don't get close!".

This thing is obviously a work of rushing work. There are white wooden stubble that has just been cut for a while on the wooden sign. The ink marks on it are very clear and even a little damp. Houdini leaned closer and sniffed it, and could even smell the odor of cheap ink.

Many doubts popped up in his mind, and he immediately realized that things seemed not as simple as he imagined. Putting down the wooden sign, he got up and walked out of the carriage, looking forward for a few seconds, and then he noticed the abnormality here: the village in front of him was too quiet, and there was no popularity at all!

Malenethera also walked out of the carriage, looked at the quiet village in front of her and said, "There are problems in this village. These buildings are just built and have no traces of use."

She had a great eye, so she just glanced a few times and raised her hand to point at the entrance of the village hundreds of meters away and said, "There is a conical magic array there. If you guess correctly, it is arranged in a way to record the impact force... I don't think that village would put this at the entrance of the village, right?"

Among the dozen people who accompanied him, there were five mages in addition to ordinary guards. They looked at each other and obviously thought that something was wrong. So they looked at Houdini collectively in order to get the result - the latter did not talk nonsense, and immediately recited the spell silently and waved his hand to throw out three golden shells. However, after the spell "Take good and avoid evil" was successfully released, Houdini's face immediately turned dark.

Because these three shells were shattered on the spot!

In prophetic spells, this sign represents the current danger of the caster's situation.

"Damn..." Houdini did not question the result of the spell. At this time, his decisiveness as a mage was revealed: "Everyone goes back! Leave here immediately!"

"Buzz--"

While they were talking, everyone heard the slight vibration from afar. They raised their heads and found that a dense blue runes suddenly appeared in the floating tower floating in the air in the distance...

"This is…"

Houdini's eyes narrowed, trying to make a judgment from the form and transformation of those runes, but because the distance was too far and could not be identified, he had to give up. At this time, he had no time to cast "Hawkeye" and had to continue to let his subordinates start to evacuate - but Melinthra, who was standing beside him, looked up at the top and suddenly pointed: "There is something there!"

Needless to say, everyone saw a faint arc in the sky, as if something suddenly bounced up from the floating tower and then fell across dozens of kilometers.

"Bang!"

The trace of lightning was almost above lightning when approaching, and landed directly on a kilometer away from the convoy. The dull impact sound could be heard from a distance, and then a rising black smoke rose.

Houdini and Maleenthra are not fools, and those mages are not fools either. When they recall the signs with the words "Magic Test Area" and when they see the scene in front of them, they quickly realized why the area they are in is warned to "do not get close"...

Before I could think too much, the sound of the second impact had already been heard - this time, everyone could see a large area of ​​mud and sand suddenly rising from the open space, which was only three hundred meters away from the carriage, and then it began to spray black smoke upwards.

"that's all?"

Houdini looked at the falling soil, and her originally tense mood relaxed a little - the attack range was far enough, but if the so-called "magic experiment" was just like this, it would be a bit disappointing.

Not to mention yourself, even the young mages who are traveling with you can handle it easily.

Is that black fog poisonous?

Thinking of this possibility, Houdini still uneasy to release a large-scale "air cleaning barrier", but his urgency just now also became much more relaxed.

"What the hell is this guy going to do..."

Melinthra's understanding of Roddy was not like other people. She knew that this guy seemed to be able to trick some miracles that ordinary people could not understand. So she always thought that staying here was not a good idea. Just as she was thinking about how to deal with it, the third collision sounded in the middle of the village ahead. As the black smoke rose, she vaguely saw a figure standing on the floating tower in the distance.

"City Lord, calibration is completed!"

"Oh, then load and launch live ammunition."

Roddy didn't expect that someone would break into the test area at this time. She was not in the mood to observe whether there were people near the village. After checking the location of the "calibration bomb", he directly recited the activate spell.

In an instant, the sixteen magic array nodes in Elson City below suddenly lit up, and light columns lit up, accurately projecting directly below the floating tower.

Energy gathers, transforms, condenses, and releases.

"Bang!"

The "cannonball" that popped up was brighter than the previous few shots, and brought a very gorgeous white ripples in the air - it was the "elemental retention" phenomenon mentioned by the magician, which usually only occurs when extremely powerful energy bodies draw in the space.

"The element...elements are stuck?!"

Houdini, who was making the convoy turn around and leave, saw this scene and his mind suddenly became blank. Because in the impression of this magician, "elemental retention" has never appeared in spells at the forbidden spell level, but now... this thing seems to be flying towards him?

He suddenly realized that Rassieman seemed to have enjoyed peace for too long, and he would underestimate the signs of the "good luck and avoid evil" spell because of his relaxed spirit!

"This bastard!"

Malin Sera, who was beside her, cursed inwardly, but she was already mentally prepared and immediately reacted - she did not cast the protective barrier, but instead three consecutive "ground traps" that made the soil below the convoy sink more than one meter!

"Yes! Ground Sinking Technique! Quick!"

Houdini was not a combat mage, so his first reaction was to cast the protective barrier. But after seeing Melinthra's actions, he realized that this was the correct way to deal with it. So he shouted and immediately cast a "Enhanced Earth Sinking Technique" - and just as the other mages were replenishing the cast, a loud bang came from the sky in front of the team!

"Crash!"

The flying "No. 53" shell exploded violently less than 100 meters from the ground, and countless debris bombarded the village below at a faster speed...

The shells with a diameter of 20 cm expanded the killing area directly to about 100 meters by splitting the fragments. This inconspicuous fragment actually condensed the energy of at least 30 standardized magic crystals in Elsen City, so when they released energy in a chain of death, the village suffered a devastating blow.

The sound of dying explosions was connected, and the entire ground seemed to shake violently with the explosion. The shock wave, the wood fragments, soil, stones and the surrounding trees swept through the convoy with the heat wave, and buried them in the blink of an eye...

Ten minutes later, when a group of mages crawled out of the soil like mud monkeys, there was no other thought in their minds.

"Living, ahem, it's great to be alive..."
Chapter completed!
