American comics: A salted fish becomes a saint by hanging up

"Yeah, I didn't expect to go through so much." Lin Nan nodded, his eyes full of mixed emotions. They had gone through a series of life and death tests, and now they could finally take a breather.

The two smiled at each other, pushed open the stone door, and walked into the square of Kamar-Taj. It was still so quiet here, and the air was filled with a faint herbal fragrance.

"We have to find a place to charge the controller." Lin Ruo reminded. She took out the time controller from her pocket, but found that the indicator light on the controller was completely off.

"Looks like we have to hurry." Lin Nan frowned. He knew that the controller's exhausted battery meant that their time travel could not continue for the time being.

"Let's go find the mages. They should know what to do." Lin Ruo suggested.

Lin Nan nodded, and the two quickly walked towards the hall where the mages often gathered. Along the way, they met several mages. Although these mages were surprised by their arrival, they did not ask much when they saw their embarrassed appearance, but silently led them to the hall.

In the hall, several elderly wizards were discussing the layout of the magic circle. When they saw Lin Nan and Lin Ruo coming, they stopped their work and showed puzzled expressions.

"Why are you here?" An old wizard with a white beard came forward and asked with concern.

"We need help." Lin Ruo handed the controller to the old wizard, "This thing is out of power, we need to charge it."

The old wizard took the controller, looked at it carefully, and frowned, "This thing seems a bit complicated. We need time to study it."

"Please hurry up, we don't have much time." Lin Nan said earnestly, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

The old wizard nodded and called the other wizards to come over. They gathered around the controller and began to discuss how to charge it. Lin Nan and Lin Ruo waited on the side, feeling uneasy.

Time passed by, and the discussion among the old wizards seemed to have reached a deadlock. Lin Nan couldn't help but step forward and asked, "How long will it take to finish it?"

The old wizard sighed, "The energy system of this device is not completely compatible with our magic system. We need to find a special energy source to charge it."

"Special energy source?" Lin Ruo frowned, "Then where should we find it?"

"There is an ancient ruin near Kamar-Taj. It is said that there is a powerful energy there." The old wizard pointed to a corner of the hall where an ancient map was engraved on the wall. "You can go there and try."

Lin Nan and Lin Ruo looked at each other. They knew this might be their only hope. "Thank you. We'll leave right away," Lin Nan said.

"Good luck to you." The old wizard smiled and nodded, "Come back anytime if you need help."

After Lin Nan and Lin Ruo thanked the mages, they quickly left the hall and headed towards the ancient ruins marked on the map. On the way, Lin Ruo couldn't help but ask, "Do you think it can succeed?"

"We have no other choice." Lin Nan answered firmly, "We have to give it a try no matter what."

Following the instructions on the map, the two passed through dense forests and hills and finally came to a hidden valley, where ancient stone tablets and statues exuded mysterious light, and the air was filled with powerful energy fluctuations.

"This is it." Lin Nan looked at the ruins in front of him, his heart full of hope.

The two walked into the depths of the valley and found an ancient altar with complex runes engraved on it. In the center of the altar, there was a crystal stone that was shining with blue light, which seemed to be the energy source they needed.

"Let's put the controller on it and try it." Lin Ruo suggested, and she carefully placed the controller next to the crystal.

Instantly, the light of the crystal became more dazzling, a powerful energy flowed into the controller, and the indicator light began to light up slowly. Lin Nan and Lin Ruo showed joy on their faces, they knew that the controller was recovering energy.

However, at this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded in the valley, and several enemies in black armor walked out from the shadows, holding weapons that flashed with cold light.

"It seems we have arrived at the right time." The leading enemy sneered, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

Lin Nan and Lin Ruo quickly stood in front of the controller, ready for a new battle. The enemies were obviously coming for the controller, and they launched a fierce attack on the two desperately.

Lin Nan used his energy shield to block the enemy's first wave of attacks, while Lin Ruo used the power of his staff to release a piece of frost to freeze the enemy.

However, the enemies were clearly well-trained and soon broke free of the frost and continued to move closer. Lin Nan and Lin Ruo fought with all their might, but the enemy's numbers and weapon superiority gradually put them at a disadvantage.

"We can't let them take away the controller." Lin Ruo said gritting her teeth, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

"I know we will win." Lin Nan nodded, his eyes full of determination.

The battle became more intense, and Lin Nan and Lin Ruo's cooperation became more and more tacit. Although they suffered a lot of injuries, they still persisted tenaciously and did not let the enemy get close to the controller.

At this moment, the controller suddenly emitted a strong light, and a powerful energy wave spread out, repelling all the enemies. Lin Nan and Lin Ruo took the opportunity to grab the controller and quickly fled out of the valley.

"Go quickly, don't look back!" Lin Nan shouted loudly. He held Lin Ruo's hand tightly and ran as fast as he could.

"Not sure, but we must always be vigilant." Lin Nan replied in a deep voice, he tightened his weapon in his hand, his eyes sharp.

At this moment, a strange energy wave came, and Lin Nan and Lin Ruo felt the enemy approaching at the same time. They reacted quickly and prepared for the battle.

In the darkness, several enemies in black armor approached quietly, their movements were swift and stealthy. Lin Nan and Lin Ruo immediately rushed forward and started a fierce battle.

Lin Nan unleashed a powerful energy wave to push the enemy back, while Lin Ruo used the power of his staff to release a sheet of frost to freeze the enemy. They worked in perfect harmony and quickly repelled the first wave of attacks.

However, the enemy was clearly well prepared, and more enemies came from all directions, and Lin Nan and Lin Ruo were caught in a fierce battle. They tried their best to prevent the enemy from approaching the barrier.

"We can't let them break through the barrier!" Lin Nan shouted loudly, his voice full of firm determination.

"We can definitely hold on!" Lin Ruo responded, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

The battle became more intense, and the number of enemies seemed endless. Although Lin Nan and Lin Ruo were exhausted, their will never wavered. They knew that only by holding on to the end could they protect Kamar-Taija and their companions.
