“Senior expert?” The Great Elder asked, “I wonder who the senior expert you mentioned is? Can you give me a name?”
Lin Suxin shook her head, she said, “Great Elder, that senior likes to hide in the mortal world and doesn’t like his identity to be discovered. Without his permission, I can’t reveal his identity, but I’m sure that he’s very powerful. Maybe he has a solution.”
“If we request in the name of our Lin family, we might be able to invite him over.”
The Great Elder furrowed his brows and asked in return, “Then you’re saying that Scholar Grimm and those experts who have reached the realm of an archmagister wouldn’t know, but he would?”
An archmagister was the pinnacle of the human world. Other than their respective development directions, there was basically no difference. That was why he asked this question.
When Ban Feimeng saw this, she took a step forward and said, “Although it’s not easy for me to say this, Lin Suxin is right. That senior is very powerful. As long as he is willing to help, there will definitely be no problem.”
The Great Elder was silent, but from the expression on his face, it was obvious that he did not believe it.
That was true. For a junior to jump out and say that she knew a reclusive expert, no matter how one looked at it, it did not sound right. If it was a magister, that would be more believable.
Seeing that the Great Elder was unwilling to believe it, Ban Feimeng snorted in dissatisfaction and didn’t remind him again.
Anyway, she had already done what she needed to do on this trip. Now, it was up to the Lin family to decide.
Lin Suxin was about to persuade him a little more when she suddenly noticed that the light in the bedroom suddenly dimmed. She saw a deep shadow continuously twisting and turning into a barrier that stood on the ground. It was like a mirror, and the surface was as smooth as water.
Everyone’s expression changed and they turned to look.
They saw that the black mirror was glowing and a woman’s figure with long hair was reflected. It looked real, but it gave off an ethereal feeling.
“Senior Xu.”
“Greetings, Senior Xu Ziqi.”
Everyone from the Lin family saluted when they saw the figure. Ban Feimeng saluted as well.
This method of reversing darkness to light could only be performed by existences above the level of a magister. This was also the comprehension of both light and dark magic elements.
As for Senior Xu Ziqi, the Lin family had known her for a long time. She had a very deep relationship with the ancestors of the Lin family who had ascended, and she was also somewhat related to the Ban family.
She had comprehended the dark and light magic elements at the same time. Once she broke through to become an archmagister and came into contact with the laws of the two magic elements, her combat strength would rise, and she would be able to fight against the gods of the Divine Realm.
Thus, even though Senior Xu was still a magister, even if an archmagister saw her, they wouldn’t dare to be rude.
“How is the current situation of the Lin family?” Xu Ziqi asked indifferently.
“Senior Xu,” the Great Elder said respectfully, “Today, an Abyss lizard disguised as an ordinary lizard sneaked into the Lin family’s territory and killed several family members. It even heavily injured the clan leader. Fortunately, the ancestor left behind some methods, which heavily injured that Abyss lizard.”
“However, the clan leader has already been eroded by the power of the Abyss. He doesn’t have much time. I wonder if you have any ideas?”
“The Abyss…” Xu Ziqi shook her head and said, “I have no ideas either. The Abyss belongs to the power of another world. There are conflicts in the laws. The means of the human world is to forcibly remove it. However, in that case, your clan leader will lose his life.”
“Generally speaking, the human world doesn’t have a good way, unless there is a legendary mage who has broken through the limits of the human world and suppressed it.”
The Great Elder glanced at Ban Feimeng and Lin Suxin, and then asked, “Then there is no such expert in the human world?”
Xu Ziqi smiled, she said, “Didn’t you ask other experts? Even an archmagister who directly ascended can’t do it. They need to be able to control all their power and resist the guiding power of the Divine Realm.”
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior Xu.”
After the Great Elder thanked Xu Ziqi, he turned to look at Lin Suxin and Ban Feimeng and said coldly, “Now do you believe it? Even an expert like Senior Xu said it. What else do you have to argue about?”
“Don’t tell me you want to say that the person you know is a legendary mage?”
Lin Suxin frowned and said in a deep voice, “I already mentioned that senior is very powerful and won’t be weaker than the other archmagisters. He definitely has a solution.”
“You…” the Great Elder’s expression changed slightly and became a little ugly, “Even Senior Xu said that you…”
“Wait.” Xu Ziqi suddenly interrupted the Great Elder’s words and turned to look at Lin Suxin. She asked softly, “The senior you are talking about, is his surname, Ye?”
Lin Suxin was slightly startled, then she nodded and said, “Yes, Senior Xu knows him too?”
Xu Ziqi could not help but laugh and say, “I was fortunate enough to meet Senior Ye a few times. I just came over from there. Senior Ye said that he had already given a method, but it did not work?”
When the Great Elder and the elders of the Lin family heard this, they were all stunned.
There was really such a senior expert?
Moreover, even an expert like Xu Ziqi who had comprehended opposing magic elements called him senior.
But why didn’t they understand what she was saying?
Other than the girl from the Ban family coming over to deliver something, what other methods did she have? Didn’t she say that it was ineffective?
That box?
Everyone’s gaze immediately focused on the box that Lin Suxin was holding close to her chest.
“Take it out. It’s useful.” Xu Ziqi smiled and said.
The Great Elder was somewhat helpless. Even Senior Xu had taken the initiative to step on the words that he had said earlier. In the blink of an eye, she had changed her words. So, what could he do?
The box was opened, and inside was an ancient-style mechanical pocket watch.
Looking at the thing in front of her, Xu Ziqi was a little distracted. At the same time, she verified some of her guesses.
The mechanical pocket watch was taken out. The Great Elder looked back and forth. Other than the exquisite craftsmanship, he could not see anything else. He could only wait for Xu Ziqi to speak.
Seeing that everyone did not understand, even Lin Suxin was confused. She did not understand why it was a pocket watch.
Xu Ziqi shook her head and sighed. “Your Lin family’s luck is really not ordinary. Senior Ye actually took out the mechanical pocket watch from the ancient times for you.”
Seeing that no one understood, Xu Ziqi explained, “The alchemy techniques of the ancient times were very exquisite. Unfortunately, it was lost in modern times and difficult to recover. The alchemy mages of that time were all top-notch geniuses. They compressed magic into objects to create magic items. Among them, the most popular one was the magic staff.”
“But there are also some special alchemy items that contain special magic. For example, this mechanical pocket watch in front of you.”
“You won’t understand unless you are a magister. Just watch from the side. Put the pocket watch beside your clan leader and step back five meters.”
After Xu Ziqi gave her orders, Lin Suxin, the Great Elder, and the others subconsciously followed.
Seeing that everyone had retreated, Xu Ziqi did not say anything more. She pointed at the mechanical pocket watch across the air, and the magic power mixed with light and dark poured into the pocket watch.
In an instant, a golden flame rose above the mechanical pocket watch, but it was not scorching or dazzling at all.
The golden flame kept expanding and contracting. When it expanded, it was at least three meters tall. When it contracted, it was difficult to even see it with the naked eye. The space at the core of the flame became distorted.
Finally, the golden flame stabilized to one meter tall and gradually spread out, forming the shape of a golden liquid that was like a stream of water.
“What is this?”
“How come I’ve never heard of it before? Do you know?”
“I don’t know. I have some impression, but I can’t remember.”
“It seems like the power of laws is brewing.”
The elders of the Lin family couldn’t help but discuss in low voices. However, it seemed like they didn’t know what this was.
On the contrary, Lin Suxin was a little shocked. She could feel the law of time within it. However, compared to the picture scroll, it was even more intense here. Could it be that it was using the law of time to treat her father’s injuries?
Ban Feimeng stared at Xu Ziqi non-stop. She was comprehending the dark magic elements and had recently encountered the light magic elements. She could learn from Xu Ziqi..
