Advent of the Archmage Chapter 73: The Secret Old Thief’s Nest (1)
To set off for battle, naturally prepare well.
Yac and others checked the weapons and equipment, and brought some small tools with them.
As for Link, because he has a space pendant, he is more prepared. In the pendant, he put in all kinds of things to deal with accidents, and even water and bread to prevent trapping.
Time is still in the pendant space, so he doesn't worry that these foods will be contaminated by demonized runes.
At the same time, he also brought more than twenty magic scrolls. These scrolls were written by him in time. The above records are all level 0 and level 1 magic, mainly assisting magic, in order to save him. Magic.
With these scrolls, it is equivalent to indirectly increasing Link's magic power cap. Finally, Link also brings a bottle of low-level magic recovery potion.
This potion was bought from Verora. One bottle cost 20 gold coins. Drinking one bottle will restore 100 magical energy instantly.
It can be said that this series of preparations has greatly made up for the shortcomings of the insufficient upper limit of Link's magic energy.
Soon, Link and others are ready, and General Anderson cleans himself up. After eating and drinking, he looks more energetic.
"Let's go," Link said.
Anderson took a look at the magic weapon that Yake and others were holding, and his eyes were a little surprised, but after all he was a polite and decent aristocrat, and couldn't bear to ask more.
Along the way, he briefed Link.
"The old nests of the thieves are too secretive. Imagination is also set up around. I went back and forth in the forest for a long time, and fortunately caught a syndicate thief, and found the place. It was a cave. Hidden in a canyon, the situation is very weird. After we found the place, we didn't dare to act rashly, and I rushed back to find you.
He changed his title to Link, and when he spoke, there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes. Apparently, he was scared by something in the canyon before.
Ake on the side asked everyone's doubts: "What a weird way?"
Anderson recalled what he saw then, and his face became subconscious: "After finding the canyon, I personally took a group of militiamen into the valley to investigate the situation, but I felt less than 20 meters after entering the canyon. Someone was talking here, it was that kind of deceptive voice, like a whisper of a demon. As soon as I was about to withdraw, a militiaman went crazy, his eyes flushed, his appearance was stubborn, and he attacked those around him like wild beasts. I I didn't dare to enter again, and immediately retreated. In the process, at least three militiamen fell into madness. We had to kill them. When we exited the valley, I looked back and saw those killed in the The militiamen on the ground stood up staggering again ..... Oh, the Lord of Glory is on, I bet there is a Necromancer hidden in the valley! "
Andusen said more and more scared, and later said that his voice was unconsciously exaggerated, and the color of surprise in his eyes couldn't be turned away. He was really frightened.
Linke's brow frowned, and he released himself with aura detection, and looked at Anderson carefully.
Andersen's body immediately showed aura. The most intense one was blue. He was a level 4 knight of the kingdom. He practiced the wind-based combat spirit, so the wind-based aura was very strong, but in this rich and brilliant outer layer, Contaminated with a faint layer of black breath, these breaths constantly rotate around Anderson, showing the appearance of a skull from time to time, just like life.
This vision shows that Anderson has a cursed black magic, but because he is powerful, this black magic does not cause him any substantial harm except that it slightly affects his soul.
Although Link was studying magic, he did n’t forget to learn new magic. When he changed his mind occasionally, he would read the magic book sent to him by Wei Ruola. A new magic.
One is Level 2 Guardian Realm. The other is Level 1 Dispel.
Of course, because time is limited, this is all ordinary magic, and there is no super magic skill, but it is enough at this time.
Dispellation requires very little magic energy. Normal level 1 ordinary magic consumes around 6 points, but dispel requires only 3 points. Link ’s current magic energy limit is 148 points, and it is still full. So he pointed his wand at Anderson and released the dispel.
A bright spot emerges from the tip of the wand, followed by a clear light band. This bright spot rushes to the top of Anderson's head, then rotates up and down until it reaches Anderson's feet, the bright point disappears.
Using the aura detection technique, the black breath on Anderson's body has disappeared. From this point of view, the curse level is not high, only 1 level. Of course, it is powerful against ordinary militia. Huge, but not very useful for masters.
Anderson's feeling is also very obvious. Under the action of magic, he felt that the haze in his heart suddenly disappeared. Originally, he was like a bird of surprise, when he rushed back all the way, everything was pale. Seeing the dark shadows in the forest, I felt that some ghosts seemed to jump out of the darkness.
But now, he sees the bright sunshine of Gwente Forest in the morning, the sound of his ears is soothing, and the fresh air and the crystal dew drops, his whole body is shaken, and the fatigue of rushing through the night is almost Swept away.
"Do you feel better?" Link asked with a smile.
"It's like being reborn." Anderson laughed easily.
Linke then explained: "If I was right, there is a dark magic circle in the valley, and the life entering it will be cursed. As for the resurrection of the dead, what you said may be an illusion in the valley, But it may also be the role of Necromancer magic. I do n’t know how to wait until I see it.
Anderson asked immediately, "Can it be broken?"
"When the cause is determined, it can be broken," Link said easily.
Actually, he knows that the reason for the resurrection of the dead in the valley is not the necro magic, nor the illusion, but the divine-like magic, which is the power from the altar of Shadowwalker Morpheus.
Mophis is the legendary peak power who has touched the realm of God. At this time, she is preparing to seal the gods. Therefore, altars are built everywhere in Syndicate. The thieves of Syndicate are basically the believers of Morpheus. Their faith is indeed Murphy. He provided some power, but Morpheus was not God in the end, so this power could not really be used by him, but stayed in the altar and became an evil power to transform the guard of the altar.
There is nothing terrible about this type of divine magic. It only targets the dead and has little effect on the living. As long as the altar is broken, everything will disappear.
That's why Link is easy.
Linck is an expert in magic. Anderson has seen him and the elite thieves on the battlefield before, and has experienced the magical effect of dispel before. He is very convinced. Seeing him so sure, he immediately let go of his mind.
Some people were not hurrying. After walking for about four hours, a group of people led by Anderson to the gorge where the Syndicate Lair was located.
There is a camp at the mouth of the gorge. At least the general militiamen here are in the valley town. The number is more than 100. The militia captain Jaksa is also here.
After Anderson arrived, he immediately found Jaksa: "Is there anything in the valley?"
Jaksa's condition is very bad, his face is pale, his eyes are red, and he is also troubled by the curse. He heard his words and shook his head: "From last night to now it is very calm, just like the cemetery."
Jaksa is a 3rd-level fighter and has a good combat power. Link's previous magic power has been restored at this time, so he spends another 3 magic power to dispel the curse for Jaksa.
He then looked towards the canyon ahead.
Compared to the game, this canyon should have more momentum. The cliffs on both sides are at least more than one hundred meters high. The canyon passage between the cliffs is only five or six meters wide. The canyon is always shrouded in a layer. If there is no yin and scent, coupled with the obstruction of the cliff wall, the sun will not shine at all.
From here, the whole canyon looks dark and secluded. From time to time, the sound of a wind crying like a ghost crying makes this canyon look like the entrance to an abyss hell.
The camp is a little far from the entrance to the canyon. I ca n’t see how real it is. Link said to Anderson: "I need to get closer, general, captain, you can not be affected by the curse. Come and see with me. ? "
Other militiamen are first-class fighters, preferably no more than second-class, and it is difficult to resist the curse, but Anderson and Jaksa are fine, and his three followers are also fine.
There is a level 3 combat spirit, which naturally resists this level 1 curse.
Anderson nodded in agreement. As for Jaksa, of course he listened to Anderson, so a group of 6 went together towards the canyon.
On the way, Link turned on the aura detection. In his eyes, the entire canyon was full of strong black gas. However, although the black gas is strong, the detection technique also tells him that the concentration of this black gas is not too high. Level 1 only.
When he reaches the mouth of the canyon, Link will enter the valley without hesitation. His three followers will keep up without saying a word, but Anderson is a little jealous: "Mr. Link?"
"It's okay, follow me." Link has already entered the canyon.
Anderson and Jaksa can only keep up with their teeth.
After entering the canyon, Link immediately realized that Andusen was whispering like a demon, and he felt that someone was talking in his mind, listened carefully, but couldn't hear the specific content, just left it alone. , But it feels that someone behind him is breathing towards his neck, which is very scary.
Except for Link, everyone else couldn't help shrinking his neck, and his eyes were startled. Even the steady Jacques couldn't help swallowing his mouth, hesitating.
"This is the curse of fear. Don't bother with it, it's just a trick to pretend to be a ghost." Link was unaffected, and walked firmly to the darkest place.
Seeing that the thinnest wizard in the body is so bold, the others can only follow him by gritting his teeth.
Walking more than forty meters, there was a whistling sound in front of him. As soon as Yake heard it, he said, "Be careful of dark arrows!"
The first time he raised his shield and blocked Link.
"Dang", the arrow was blocked by the shield, leaving only an insignificant white spot on the shield.
Although the sight of the canyon was extremely poor, Glidan saw the attacker for the first time and raised his bow to shoot. A "shatter" trembled, a reddish light flashed, and a sound came from the rock wall beside the canyon Screaming, and then banging, a figure fell off, which was obviously a secret whistle of Syndicate.
"Look, you can be shot and still alive." Link spoke in a timely manner.
Everyone is relieved, as long as they are living, they are powerful warriors to living.
But soon, Link saw the so-called resurrection of the dead.
I saw the syndicate thief who had been shot to death on the cliff before, and began to struggle on the ground. After about ten seconds, he really got up from the ground, but because of falling from a height, his body was broken in many places. Many places are distorted, but such guys stand up even more terrifying.
Anderson yelled in surprise: "Look, he's alive again!"
It's very strange that the corpse that stood up didn't attack them, but turned around and walked deep into the canyon. Although he was faltering, he was very fast and disappeared in the forest soon. Ke and others in the field of vision.
"Sir, what do you do now?" Aker asked softly, and the situation was weird.
Lin Ke's face couldn't see the slightest emotion of fear, and the wand in his hand pointed toward the deep valley: "Keep going, find the cursed magic circle first!"
"..." Everyone was speechless, didn't this young magician know to be afraid?
But Link has already taken a step forward, and they have to bite the bullet and follow this brave magician.
