Chapter 154: The Black Hammer
Chapter 154: The Black Hammer
After the explosion, Ben opened his hands that were covering his eyes, and his eyes were painfully blinded by the sudden bright light.
After recovering a little, Ben saw Liu Chi standing beside him staring at the thick smoke in front of him. From his movements, he did not seem to cover his eyes.
Ben called out, "Master!"
Liu Chi did not respond to Ben. Ben stood up curiously and saw Liu Chi's eyes. The originally brown pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of light white gauze.
Ben called out "Master" a few more times.
Liu Chi's eyes began to turn red slowly, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down his cheeks.
Because of looking directly at the explosion, Liu Chi's eyes have been blinded at the physical level.
Seeing that Liu Chi didn't move, Ben gently touched Liu Chi's body.
Only then did I realize that the reason why Liu Chi was able to remain standing was because all the muscles in his body were contracted.
Ben was shocked and carried Liu Chi on his shoulders, then jumped out of the weapon refining room that had been bombed into ruins in a few steps.
Seeing that half of his mud house was almost collapsed, Ben carried Liu Chi directly towards the castle in the middle.
Janet, who was drinking tea in the garden, saw the image in the crystal ball flashing slightly, and Ben and Liu Chi appeared. She immediately felt something was wrong.
"Zero! Go back!"
Janet stood up and walked towards the largest of the three castles.
As soon as Ben sent Liu Chi into the castle, Janet caught up with him.
Ben was in a hurry to find Janet in the castle when he heard her voice.
"Uncle Ben, what happened? I just heard an explosion."
"Quick, quick, come and see what happened to my master."
Looking at Liu Chi's body being carried straight on Ben's shoulders, Janet reached out and pinched Liu Chi's ankle.
"follow me!"
Ben followed Janet into the nearest room and laid Liu Chi flat on the bed. Because of the coagulation of blood, Liu Chi's cheeks were covered with blood.
New tears and blood continued to flow down, and soon the pillow was dyed red.
Janet didn't care about the doubts and started to stop the bleeding directly. She placed her left and right index fingers on Liu Chi's two temples respectively.
As Janet cast a little lightning magic, half of Liu Chi's face became paralyzed, and the blood stopped bleeding.
"Could he have been injured in the eyes?" Janet and Ben both knew that Liu Chi's eyes were injured in the explosion, but they still said it out loud.
"Uncle Ben, why did your weapon explode for no reason?"
Ben had no idea at all, because he was just following Liu Chi's instructions, and the materials in that furnace were prone to explosion, so he usually just used them as auxiliary materials at most.
"I think it may be because you are not here, Your Majesty."
Ben, unable to explain himself, simply put the blame on Janet.
Seeing Ben starting to act like a rogue again, Janet instead turned her attention to Liu Chi.
He gently closed Liu Chi's eyes with his hands, and pulled down Liu Chi's upper body clothes with force, exposing Liu Chi's entire chest.
Although she didn't know what caused Liu Chi's muscles to contract, Janet, as a great mage of thunder, directly started "electric therapy" on Liu Chi.
After casting Thunder Magic Element several times, Janet rubbed Liu Chi's arms. Seeing Liu Chi's muscles gradually stretching, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go~ Uncle Ben, let's go check on you."
After walking only a few steps, Janet stopped and gestured to Zero beside her.
Zero placed his palms on his chest and leaned down slightly.
After watching Janet and Ben leave, Zero followed Janet's instructions and moved Liu Chi to Janet's boudoir, then stood outside the boudoir waiting for Janet to come back.
"What's wrong? Her Majesty won't allow your maid to accompany you?"
"Uncle Ben, it's just the two of us now, don't call me like that, I feel so ashamed."
"I can't help it. How long has it been since you became the queen? I'm used to you calling me that."
"So now that you have lost your home, you can finally live in the castle, right?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I think I can continue to live there after some repairs."
Janet was speechless. What she meant was to just demolish the land. Such a retro courtyard, located in the territory of the royal palace, always felt a bit out of place and out of class.
This feeling is no less than that of being in a group of luxurious villas, where the public toilets are actually thatched houses. When you walk in, you will see two wooden boards covered with unknown stains placed on a large pit.
Janet could only laugh dryly.
"Now, doesn't Liu Chi lose in advance?"
"Ah~"
Ben also sighed.
"Who could have expected that Master would work so hard that something bad would happen."
The two men walked outside the collapsed wall. At this time, the thick smoke in the refinery room had almost dissipated. From a distance, the two men saw something glowing inside.
"That is?"
Janet immediately quickened her pace and rushed over.
I could only see it clearly when I got closer.
A pale yellow sphere was floating in the air, and inside it was a rod-like object about sixty centimeters long.
The stick has irregular smooth protrusions all over its body, a bit like a polished mace, or like a chocolate crispy ice cream with a shell covered with hazelnuts.
Not sensing any magic from the pale yellow sphere, Janet, driven by curiosity, reached out her hand towards the black rod.
The strange things that happened next surprised both Janet and Ben.
The pale yellow sphere and the black rod inside it looked like a holographic projection. Janet's hand missed and passed through it directly.
"This? What's going on?"
Janet was so shocked that she was speechless. This was the first time she had ever encountered such a thing.
"Your Majesty, let me try."
Surprised, Ben also stretched out his hand towards the sphere.
But the result did not change, his hand still passed through and grabbed nothing.
"Is this space magic?"
Janet muttered quietly and began brainstorming.
The only magic on this continent that cannot sense magic elements is space magic. Unlike other types of magic, space magic is essentially a special kind of order magic.
Different from the elemental magic which is a lower level of order magic, space magic is more often displayed through spatial fluctuations.
For example, to make a space ring, you actually "detonate" an alien space on the ring. The size of this alien space is the same as the size of the space ring.
As the size increases to a certain level, the difficulty of "detonating" it will increase exponentially.
While Janet was still confused, Ben, who didn't believe in evil, reached for the yellowish sphere again.
As the vital energy in his body was slowly absorbed by the sphere, Ben's attack this time successfully touched the black rod, but only for a moment.
After feeling it, Ben reached in with his other hand, preparing to use both hands to take out the black rod.
