Chapter 19: Ruins and Performances

"The ancient magic ruins of the southwest desert?" An ordinary complaint made Angel frown slightly, revealing a thoughtful look. After a few seconds, she gently put down the dried fruit in her hand and slowly walked towards the Campas map hanging on the wall. After being silent for about five minutes, she suddenly turned around and whispered: "Why, get a map of the ancient magic era for me."

"The map of the ancient magic era?" He Taiping was slightly stunned, and then realized that something must have been discovered here. Without waiting for Angel to explain anything, he had already taken the door and ran quickly towards Emos' laboratory. Speaking of the map of the ancient magic era, in fact, several copies were found in the underwater palace at that time, but they were all filled with personal gain by the old lich in the name of research, but now they must ask him.

Ten minutes later, He Taiping, who had said all the good things, finally returned with an ancient magic map. Angel whispered "Thank you" and then expanded the map and compared it with the Campas map on the wall. Ten minutes later, she suddenly pointed to a place on the Campas map and said, "If I guess correctly, that ruin should be in this range!"

Although she claimed to be "guess", the expression on her face seemed very confident. He Taiping was slightly stunned, half happy and half surprised and asked: "Are you sure? You must know that Lawrence's subordinates have been searching in the southwest desert for nearly two months, but they have never heard of anything... Wait, what do you mean is..."

"Yes, who else would know the location of the ruins better than the owner of the ruins?" Angel gently stroked the map, but there was a few indescribable bitterness hidden in his expression - or at this moment, the ancient magician who had been sleeping for thousands of years remembered the once prosperous magic era. Now, the world and companions of the past have been destroyed, and only he is still alive in this strange world...

Looking at her lonely expression, He Taiping couldn't help but feel soft. At this moment, under the influence of inexplicable tenderness, he did not use respect for the first time, but used the tone of treating his friends, and gently comforted him: "The new world actually means new friends and new experiences. Angel, don't you think we are already friends?"

"Friend?" Angel slowly turned his head and stared at the other person with a clear gaze as water. After a long time, she finally smiled slightly and said softly: "Maybe, then before we really become friends, let me help you - for example, this ruin is actually not as complicated as you imagine."

While saying this, she closed her eyes slightly and looked up into the sky, falling into her memories. A few minutes later, a low voice echoed in the room, with indescribable bleakness and loneliness: "That ruin is the laboratory I built in my early years. It was abandoned before I was sealed in the puppet. However, I still remember the spells there, so if you need it..."

"Yes, of course there is a need!" He Taiping was stunned for a moment, and grabbed her arm with joy. However, after touching the delicate skin, the man who realized that he was a little abrupt and hurriedly let go and said solemnly: "Angel, do you mean that you can easily enter the ruins, including the powerful guards inside subduing?"

"A powerful guard? There are no powerful guards in it except for some magic circles and small summoned beasts." Angel shook his head gently, but pondered: "However, there are some magic equipment and magic props I made there. If you need it, move them all back!"

"Is it really possible? Can it be emptied?" He Taiping was stunned for a moment, his breathing had become rapid. What really touched him was not the magical equipment and props, but with Angel's help, his plan to trick Lawrence into the game would be smoother. At this moment, his mind was running quickly, and with the strange smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth, an absurd and amazing plan was gradually taking shape...

"Then, stretch out your left hand and I'll give you a contract spell, which will allow you to enter the ruins smoothly." While he was thinking quickly, Angel had condensed a blue spark at his fingertips and slowly explored towards He Taiping's left palm. A few minutes later, the blue light disappeared on his skin, and a pattern of a hexagonal star array was left on the palm of his left palm.

"This is the pass to enter the ruins?" He Taiping looked at the faint light flashing on the hexagonal star array, but could feel the spell appear in his mind. However, Angel, who was sitting opposite, did not answer. She stood quietly for a moment, then slowly sat back to her seat, and whispered: "It's almost done, the silver energy I got has almost been consumed."

"What, how is that possible? You didn't say there were ten days left..." He Taiping was stunned and blurted out. But when he noticed the hexagonal star array in his hand, he suddenly understood everything - there was no doubt that this contract spell was not easy to operate as he imagined, but it consumed a lot of magic. In other words, in order to help him, Angel sacrificed his precious stay and had to return to that dark world again...

As soon as he thought of this, he looked at Angel's eyes and suddenly became a little more moved. Facing his gentle gaze, Angel just smiled faintly, then closed his eyes slightly, and never spoke again. He Taiping was silent for a long time, and finally hesitated and shouted: "Anger, are you still here?"

The angel who closed his eyes did not answer, silent as if it was like a stone statue. He Taiping sighed softly, slowly reached out to stroke her blonde hair, and reorganized his scattered hairline. A few seconds later, a pranky smile suddenly appeared, and he licked his lips and smiled, "Angel, can you dance a bear dance? Do you want to have a paragraph to see?"

"No, you can demonstrate it first!" However, before the words were finished, Angel, who closed his eyes and silently answered suddenly. Her voice was not terrible, but the man who heard this was shocked, staggered back a few steps, and his waist hit the foot directly, screaming in pain.

"You, you lied to me!" He Taiping grinned his teeth while protesting. Angel showed a slightly naughty smile and said lightly: "Do I have one? When did I say that I will leave now?"

"Oh, then why are you closing your eyes!" He Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then asked loudly. Angel slightly shook his jaw and imitated his habitual movements to lift his chin: "It's very simple, because I'm tired..."

While this sentence echoed in the air, the angel with a sly smile had slowly stood up. She patted the shoulder of the dumb male, then walked out of the room slowly, and had not forgotten to bring the door. But no one noticed that the moment the door was closed, the woman sighed, with a little confusion hidden in her voice. She gently stroked her blonde hair, as if she felt a certain warmth, but finally shook her head and walked quickly to the corridor in the distance...

However, He Taiping in the room was not clear about this scene. He thought for a while at the desk, then rang the bell and ordered the attendant to come to Andre. About ten minutes later, Andre, who was teasing the dark elf maid in the lord's mansion, walked into the room with some disappointment. Judging from her frowning expression, she was obviously very dissatisfied with the interruption of the romantic encounter.

"Let your lust be temporarily released. If you plan to have a chance to chat with her in the future, then let's solve this problem first." He Taiping threw a bottle of fruit milk to her. He paused for a moment, but asked curiously: "I said Andre, can you really satisfy those women? Meow, have you ever considered finding a normal man to marry?"

"Marry, who will you marry?" Andre gently wiped away the traces of powder left on the corner of his mouth, comfortably raised his legs on the sofa, and smiled faintly, "Dear brother, you wouldn't treat me..."

"Puff! Stop joking. It's one thing to see Lily have impulsiveness, but it's another thing to go into battle yourself." He Taiping spitted out his mouthful of fruit milk, coughed five or six times, and then said hoarsely: "Tell me the serious thing, I'm already looking at the ruins. What I have to do next is to accompany me to perform a show."

Andre was slightly stunned and showed a solemn look for the first time. A few minutes later, he was silent for a moment after hearing He Taiping's narration, and then showed a bright smile: "So that's the case, it's really a coincidence. Then let's go to the ruins and perform a good show for my dear 'father'."

"Very good, I have prepared a whole set of plans, it will definitely be very interesting!" The two men looked at each other and smiled at each other, as if they had reached a contract of a demon. The laughter gradually fell, and He Taiping sucked the fruit milk with great pleasure, then frowned slightly, "But Andre, have you ever thought about what we will do after this matter is settled?"

"Do something? Do you mean to expand the army?" Andre thought for a few seconds before he got the correct answer. "That's right, but where do we recruit soldiers? And even if we recruit soldiers, it will take a long time to train them to become soldiers who can fight."
