The St. Karen Mountains are located in the northwest of the Endres continent, and generally extend more than 3,000 kilometers in a diagonal direction from southwest to northeast. Among them, Queltos, known as the highest peak on the continent, is located in it.

The peak is towering into the clouds and snow all year round, and the ice will never melt forever. It is said that a legendary warrior named Queltos killed the gods here. Looking from above, there is a huge crack at the foot of the mountain, which is unknown how deep it is, as if someone slashed out with a sharp blade, which is called Queltos' saw blade, and later it was simply called the Dark Fracture!

On the dark night, the St. Karen Mountains could not see their five fingers, and the dark rifts opened like a monster's hideous mouth, and there was constant coldness, and violent aura gushed out. Occasionally, strange sounds were heard, like someone was moaning or a creature roaring inside. The horror of its environment, even the most powerful monster in the St. Karen Mountains did not want to live here.

However, at this time, two figures of purple and red were in this strange and terrifying environment and stood on the edge of the dark crack.

The purple human figure is Li Yan's teacher, Magister Merlin, and the red figure is also one of the few four mages in the Mage Association. Opflyn Lieyan, who likes flame shaping energy. He is an orphan. The name Lieyan was chosen by himself after becoming a formal mage.

At this moment, Merlin's brows were deeply frowning. It had been more than ten days since the day he left the mage tower. In the past half month, in addition to submitting his speculation about the magic stone to the headquarters of the mage association, he also secretly investigated sensitive places such as the woods outside Pompeii, but there was no result.

This time, he checked the Dark Fracture with Opflyn was the last stop. It seemed to be no different from the normal situation in history, but he was even more worried.

The Abyss Magic Stone is a clear proof that the cracks appear in space barriers. However, after investigation, these historically recorded weak spatial barriers currently seem to be nothing unusual. This is likely because the places where the space barriers were originally normal have space rifts. If so, detecting and preventing the appearance of the abyss demon will become like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is extremely difficult. It is very likely that by the time you really discover it, the abyss demon will have invaded in large numbers.

"Hey, old-fashioned man, just talk, don't be silent all the time. It's so boring to be with you." Unlike Merlin standing quietly, Opflyn, who was on the side, turned around a few times, then stretched out his head and looked into the crack, and suddenly said. His red beard and a red spire mage hat on his head, were looking at Merlin with a tired face.

"Hmph, old bald man, you are so quiet, so you have been chasing Ullina for decades and still have no results." Hearing the old friend's joke, Merlin sarcastically mercilessly.

"Tsk, what do you know? We are enjoying this kind of fun of cultivating feelings." Opflyn made a 'you ignorant' expression to Merlin, but immediately changed the subject and said, "I heard you accepted a disciple?"

"Well, my name is Li Yan Alexander. I met him more than four months ago in the Twilight Forest. He has a good talent, so he was taken as a disciple." When it comes to Li Yan, in the dark environment, Meilin's face couldn't help but show a trace of unknown amazement and pride.

"You can't help but be moved. It seems that the boy has a very good talent. I need to be aware of it." Nodded seriously, Opflyn said, and then he showed an intoxicated look. "How long has it been since Ferwood's crust?"

"The latter is your purpose, I warn you not to set fire in the forest. I don't want to live in the Gobi like you." Knowing my old friend's unique ambition hobby, Merlin gave a warning in advance, but he also secretly had a headache.

"hey-hey."

"There doesn't seem to be any change here. Let's go. It seems that this matter can only come to an end first."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

In the early morning, gentle sunshine shone on the Feywood Forest, indicating the beginning of a vibrant day. In the forest, the light blue magic stone on the top of the Merlin Mage Tower seemed to shine forever.

After finishing his routine meditation every morning, Li Yan enjoyed his breakfast, a fruit platter, and a glass of juice on the second floor of the Mage Tower. In order to keep his mind clear, most mages advocate light food, and of course, there is no strict ban on meat and drinking.

A violent white light in the remote teleportation array on the ninth level of the Mage Tower suddenly burst out. After a few seconds, two figures appeared in the center of the teleportation array as the light disappeared.

"Old man, your mage tower is really as old-fashioned as you, and it remains unchanged for thousands of years. After so many years, won't you make this teleportation hall look better? Look at the flames engraved around my teleportation hall, which is so powerful." As soon as he appeared, before stepping out of the teleportation array, Opflyn began to express his opinions.

Without paying attention to the old friend's topic, Meilin walked towards the small portal in the tower, and his mental power instantly connected to the control center. The entire situation of the mage tower was reflected in his mind.

Seeing that Li Yan was having breakfast, Mei Lin smiled and said, "I'll go to the bedroom to sort out the information this time. You know the prohibition spell here, don't ruin my magic puppet."

After thinking about it, Opflyn shook his head: "Anyway, your mage tower has nothing to look good about forever. I will help you make a record and complete it early so that I can have time to go out and have fun."

"It's OK," Meilin nodded and stepped onto the portal, while a mental power was transmitted to the second floor.

After drinking the last sip of juice, Li Yan was putting down the cup in his hand. A spiritual message suddenly came, "It's the teacher who is back." His face couldn't help but show a happy expression. To be honest, Li Yan still missed him quite a long time ago. Although this kind of relationship is not family affection, it is better than family affection.

After activating the cleansing technique that was brought on the formal mage's robe, Li Yan turned around and walked into the portal. The tableware on the table would be cleaned up by demon servants. When he arrived at Merlin's bedroom, Merlin and Opfly were sitting on both sides of the desk to review and copy some information, and talked a few times from time to time.

Seeing that there was one more person, Li Yan was surprised without being rude and walked up to salute: "Hello, teacher, I'm here."

"Haha." He raised his head and said with a smile: "This one by me is the Opflyn Flame Magician of the Mage Society, my old friend."

"Hello, Mentor Opflyn." At this time, Li Yan quickly gave a mage greeting to the red figure.

"Hello." Opflyn also smiled and nodded. I have to say that Opflyn made a serious gesture in the face of an unfamiliar person, and he still had the style of a magician. At least Li Yan felt this way now. Although he couldn't see it, the powerful magic energy contained in his body made Li Yan look like he was facing a mountain.

"Are you satisfied with the banquet of Duke Pompeii?" Meilin asked in harmony at his proud disciple.

"Well, it's okay." Li Yan nodded and briefly introduced what happened at the banquet, including the matter of being awarded the honorary viscount.

"It's okay." Merlin replied, and for the mages who are determined to explore the mysteries of magic, secular power is not very important.

"What's wrong?" Just as Li Yan was considering whether to mention the space ring now, Mei Lin noticed his slightly hesitant look and asked with concern.

With a wry smile, Li Yan took off the space ring on the index finger of his left hand and said, "A few days ago, I made the fireball scroll in the laboratory of the Mages Association, but the seal failed, so I had to stuff it into the space ring. So, I want to ask the teacher to help solve this problem."

"You did it right, but fortunately there was no danger. You must be careful next time." Hearing Li Yan's statement, Mei Lin certainly understood the danger he encountered at that time, and said, "Put the ring here, take out the scroll and give it to you."

Putting the ring on Meilin's desk, Li Yan said, "Teacher, then I'll leave."

A white light flashed, and Li Yan disappeared into the small teleportation array.

"Hey, old man, it seems that your disciple has a bad talent in making scrolls. Even the seal scrolls failed. My apprentice has never made such mistakes in this regard." Opflyn looked at Merlin with a proud look. Since the two became friends, Opflyn has often compared Merlin with various things. Although he lost more and won less, he was still happy.

"Oh? Is it?" Knowing Li Yan's talent, Mei Lin smiled, "How about you help my disciple solve this problem?"
