Chapter 265
Angele’s sight blurred for a second . He could feel the heat from his eyes . When he looked toward the direction again, he could now see what was happening clearly .
"It’s an…altar . A stone altar . " He recognized the object right away .
A gray altar sat quietly in a remote area . There was no one around it .
Green veins and black roots twisted around the altar . It looked old and the gray stone base had already started cracking . Some dried yellow leaves were blown into the air by the wind .
A pink crystal rune was floating over the stone altar, which looked like a crystal accessory .
It was a triangular crystal rune made from the pink crystal . A crescent moon, a math symbol, and a money symbol were marked on its three corners .
There was an eye-shaped rune in the center .
The eye-shaped rune was supported by a tiny scale .
The crystal rune was the source of the pink light dots .
"What’s that?" Angele wondered .
"I don’t know," Stigma saw Angele staring at him and answered . "Those altars are common in the remote areas . Legends state that they were built by human beings . No one knew how to use those floating crystal runes . The runes will regenerate automatically if they’re removed from the altars . It’s a mystery . "
"You’re from Omandis yet you don’t know about those crystal runes?" Hikari wondered .
Stigma shrugged . "Yeah, I’m from Omandis but it doesn’t mean I know everything . "
Morrisa applied her eyesight buff to all the wizards and they started checking the altar altogether .
"Stigma, did you see the altar on your way to Nola?" Reyline asked .
"Yeah, but it was a different one . There is more than one altar in the area . Mutated creatures stay away from the altars for some reason, which as I have said, is a mystery," Stigma explained .
"Sadly, I can’t go down there and check the altar myself . I’m curious . " Angele said what everyone was thinking .
"If we can survive the trip, we can go check those altars together later . What do you say?" Hikari asked .
"No problem," Stigma responded right away .
"Sure . " Morrisa nodded . She was the weakest one of the five wizards, so she would love to join the team created by the stronger wizards .
Angele narrowed his eyes and looked at Reyline .
"I don’t have a problem with it . "
"I’ll join you too then . " Reyline nodded slightly . He only cared about Angele’s opinion since he had been defeated by the man before .
If the five wizards could successfully survive all the dangerous areas, they would gain a lot of practical experiences that would help them succeed in Omandis .
Angele was not certain that the methods provided by Stigma would work every time when they encountered dangerous magical creatures .
"Alright, it’s dinner time . I have some pork on the boat . We can barbeque those . What do you think?" Hikari smiled .
"Sure, I have many spices . I can make a great dry rub . " Angele chuckled, "I love barbequed pork . It’s nice that you brought some meat to the boat . I didn’t even think too much about food when I boarded the boat . "
"A wizard like me can’t live without some decent food," Hikari responded . "It’ll be even better if we have some fruit wine . "
"I have several bottles of Horito Beer with me," Reyline said in a light tone .
"But before that, we have some problem to take care of . " Angele suddenly drew his cursed scimitar . The blade was coated with a green glow .
The other four wizards hesitated for a second and glanced around .
Under the dark clouds, there were more than ten Snake Lizards coming after the boat . There were iron spears and swords in their hands, and Angele could see the greed in their green eyes .
"We should’ve stayed in the rooms a bit longer . " Stigma’s expression changed . "These monsters can detect living beings more than a thousand meters away . I didn’t expect a second patrol team . " He pulled the black dagger out of the sheath .
"Morrisa, go hide in the cabin . " Hikari threw two potions to the floor . The potion bottles rolled several times on the ground, leaving a trail of black liquid behind .
*CHI*
Two liquid tall white men spawned from the potions . Their bodies solidified quickly, and sharp ice shards emerged out of their shoulders .
The two elementals looked like two tall human beings that were equipped with ice armors . They did not have eyes, ears, and noses . The only thing they had on their faces was a mouth . They were saying something, but Angele could not understand the language . It sounded like some random runes .
"Go!" Hikari pointed at the approaching patrol team of the Snake Lizards .
