The Amber Sword: Sixty-ninth act Wizard Tower
After the group entered the forest, the blue light curtain slowly closed behind them, as if they had life. They soon discovered that there are two worlds inside and outside the light curtain, and the outside is still noon, but the already inside the light curtain is full of twilight. The sky seems to hang a blue screen, and there are a few stars in the distance. Is the scenery after Twilight.
And a hundred steps away, the woodland is a dark place.
The huge contrast caused everyone to be vigilant. Nemesis and Freya gently pulled out the sword and looked around. There seemed to be some anxiety in the air that made the vest chill.
Brando looks at the strange forest land, where already is in a valley part, and the hills in the distance are immersed in the night. In the north, the sky is dark purple like a silent night. This hill is called "Twilight Hill" in "Amber Sword", and in his memory it should be the southwest corner of Milos' Breath.
At the entrance of this area, there should be a lair of the Twilight dog, which is an ancient sub-species canidae. Vaunde has long been extinct, but there is still a small amount of distribution in some Black Forest.
"Lord Count, as you said, which direction should we go now?" Laluna interrupted his thoughts and asked.
"It was mentioned on strategy guide that there should be a path leading to the 'atrium'," Brando silently recalled the text on strategy guide: 'Twilight Hill is the best entrance to enter the direction of Milos, and the lair of the gatekeeper is The terrifying Twilight dog extends through the channel of the Twilight dog lair to the north and leads to the 'atrium'. There is a treasure location at point a and point b, and these two locations were explored in 385 and 387 for the 'Flywing Brigade' and 'crystal's Apple' guild. ‘If this Instance is still being explored for the first time, the treasure site mentioned on strategy guide may also be existence. His eyes searched through the forest, and suddenly found that this continuous valley was not a passageway? The eyes of Brando's extended forward, and the dark green hills on both sides meandered to the north, which also accorded with the description on strategy guide.
After confirming this, Brando has a plan: "We are going along this valley. Carefully swim Magewraith on the road, try not to use Magic, and do not activate Magic items. Use open flames. Lighting crystal is forbidden to use . "
Magewraith is not a difficult creature, but once Mana starts to dissipate, it will attract more monster. Some players have said that Magewraith is the siren among Instance Breath of Milos, and this statement is not unfounded.
"Do you understand?"
"Understand." Everyone nodded.
Brando is somewhat satisfied. Although his understanding of this Instance only stayed on strategy guide. But he knew that in unknown environments, people were always willing to give partiality to people who seemed well-informed. As the person with the most experience in the team, he is not allowed to assume this responsibility.
He continued to order: "Scarlett, Medissa, you two are open. Madam Laluna, please trouble you after you break."
"Okay, Lord Thane." Medissa nodded instead of Scarlett.
"No problem." Laluna also raised the one's own sheathed sabre and put it on his chest. This is a Kirrlutz Knight etiquette -- representing willingness to lead.
With no objections from everyone, the team will soon be divided. Scarlett and Medissa walked forward as the eyes of the team. Both of them held spear through the dense coniferous forest. They soon noticed that as the team progressed, the sky seen through the gaps between the layers of branches was getting darker and darker.
From the light red in the evening to light blue, then dark blue, and gradually filled with stars. Become a scene of silent night. It was just like walking in the woods for more than ten minutes, and the sky changed from evening to late at night.
In fact, this is the characteristic of the hill of Correct Twilight. This is the transition zone of the Yong Ye forest. It is not really entered the center of the forest until it reaches this area. It became dark all around, but Scarlett lit the torch. The flames stretched in all directions, dragging the dense cedar trunks around in the woodland, but long shadows appeared where the light couldn't shine.
The team advanced for about half an hour. Medissa suddenly noticed that the stars began to appear in the deep darkness, and she immediately recognized the Magewraith that Correct floated between the woodlands.
She grabbed Scarlett and raised her finger to her with a 'careful' gesture.
"What is that?" Scarlett also noticed the light spot in the forest and asked in a low voice.
"Maybe Magewraith."
"So much!" Scarlett was startled. In her opinion, the number is indeed too much, at least hundreds of them. She looked at those floating spirits and seemed a little nervous.
"Don't worry," Medissa said softly: "Magewraith, although terrible, is a well-known blind man. As long as you don't use Mana, light is not visible to them. As long as we pay attention to it, we should not There will be problems. "
Scarlett nodded doubtfully. In fact, Brando uses Medissa as the team's eyeliner, in fact, she wants to use her rich battles, experience and elf, to be born with agility, and Brando arranges Scarlett as a partner. Its practical purpose is to protect the former; Medissa level after his advanced official Planeswalker position With Ciel was washed into the first level, although now they can upgrade through experience like him, but only after less than a month of experience, the strength is only just restored to the initial level of silver.
Because Planeswalker creature has irrevocable defects, Brando has to be careful.
Scarlett glanced in that direction again, with some doubts in his eyes when he looked back, that meant to say -- "What should I do now, Medissa?"
Silver Elf Little Princess understood it, and whispered: "Scarlett, see if you can get around the left and right sides."
Scarlett froze slightly and looked at her suspiciously. Theoretically, although Medissa is inferior to her strength, it is not so clear that she can't even see such a long distance. But it seemed to be aware of the skepticism of mountain people girls, Medissa quickly explained: "This place seems to have some restrictions on our Heroic Spirit --"
She blushed after speaking. If it was n’t for one's own ’s level ’s being washed out, it ’s too hard to explain, she ’s really not good at lying. But to be honest, she hasn't figured out what this level is now, and why it is closely related to the strength of one's own.
Fortunately, under the light of fire, a little blush Scarlett Did not see it. Then she nodded her head and turned around, but her gaze swept across the valley and found the Magewraith seem already Blocking all the way ahead.
After she looked closely for a while. He shook his head slightly.
"Can't it?" Medissa groaned a moment, she immediately opened the spirit / mind contact, and transmitted a message to the following Brando. Not long after. The bushes behind the two girls were slammed apart, and the Brando group already came out from there.
"Medissa, Scarlett."
Brando after getting the message from Medissa. I guessed what was going on. He separated the bushes and walked out of the forest behind him, looked up, and sure enough he saw the stars in the darkness.
Yong Ye Forest is a huge area. In this area, the distribution of monsters is very random, but after players' exploration, many rules have been found out. Prior to this, the road he had guided for Medissa and Scarlett was actually a very remote path. According to strategy guide, most unnecessary battles could be avoided.
Because it has been delayed a lot in the forest of Allasser, Brando had to choose this path. But this road is not safe. There are also two monster nodes that cannot be bypassed on the road it must pass. One was a place called the pool of Magewraith, and the other got stuck at the last pass in front of the atrium, where they had to face the Twilight dog and Hick.
Brando glanced at the amazing amount of Magewraith in the forest, and probably determined the location of the pool -- Magewraith here, although it was not lair of Magewraith. But in some ways it is actually better than lair.
Magewraith is genuine's Gold rank's monster in "Amber Sword". Normally, you have to kill so many things. Players without two groups don't think about it. However, Brando just knows an abnormal method to deal with these Magewraith. In this Instance that already was thoroughly penetrated by players in the later period of game, the strategy guide is not too much.
But he glanced over there and then looked away. Before he was ready to pass here. He has two more things to do.
Brando judged the direction and glanced somewhere in the dark, where he really saw a huge cedar tree that needed two or three people to hug.
"Medissa, how tall are you," he whispered.
Silver Elf Princess was a little hesitant. I didn't expect that one's own Lord Thane would ask this strange question. She hesitated a little, and then embarrassedly told the Brando answer in spirit / mind contact.
Rao is so, she still heard Ciel grinning aside. Brando glanced hard at that side, and then he said, "It's almost right, you come to me."
"Huh?" Medissa was a little puzzled, but still did what it said. Everyone didn't understand what Brando was doing, they just looked at Silver Elf Little Princess in wonder and walked to Brando with some curiosity. "Lord Thane, what do you tell me?"
"Now you are facing me." Brando said looking at the cedar tree.
"Brando, what are you doing?" Freya is a bit strange, in fact everyone is as strange as him. If it wasn't for her asking, Philas, who was eager to try later, would have planned to speak.
"Wait until you know." Brando replied.
Medissa hesitated a little before moving on. She now almost face to face with already and Brando and can even feel the faint Aura from Lord Thane. She blushed. Since being summoned by Brando, she has never been so close to the ambiguous distance of the master of one's own.
But Brando was not satisfied. He pressed her shoulders and adjusted her direction. Medissa was startled, and several times her nose touched the Brando's chest.
"Brando!" Freya glared at Brando. If it wasn't for the fact that the enemy was nearby, she would have been stabbed.
But Brando is still unheard of. At this moment, he feels like he is back in game, and he is developing the era of Instance with his trusted companions. He stared at the huge cedar and whispered to Medissa:
"You start with me now. Take ten steps to retreat and tell me what you feel."
Brando's sounds a bit like a riddle, but Medissa's trust in him has already reached the point where he can do everything without asking why. She just nodded slightly, then nodded slowly to retreat.
Everyone saw her quit ten steps and stopped.
"Tell me, what do you feel under your feet." Brando asked.
Medissa's eyes lightened slightly. It seems very strange: "... I feel a weak Mana, it seems to be a Mana mark. Lord Thane, how do you know there is something here?"
But Brando apparently does not intend to answer her question for the time being. He took the torch from Scarlett on one side and pointed the torch at Medissa. The fire light immediately printed the shadow of Silver Elf Princess to the ground, and the others looked along Brando's's eyes. Suddenly stunned.
Because they saw the shadow behind Medissa, they clearly had a pair of translucent wings.
"This is ...?" Philas couldn't help but startled.
But in Brando's heart, inwardly shouted said ‘sure enough’. Of all the people, only Laluna was keenly aware of the change in his expression. The Female Knight immediately asked: "Mr Count, do you know what?"
Brando let out a relaxed breath, which nodded and replied: "Magewraith will not gather in a place for no reason. The origin of this place is actually a little bit like that of Black Tower Wizard of Callas."
"Black Tower Wizard?" Even Ciel was a little surprised at this moment. You know, he used to be a member of Black Tower Wizard.
Brando smiled slightly, this time he didn't lie. This can only be said to be a coincidence. The background of this place in game is indeed from Black Tower Wizard, "Black Tower Wizard is the most powerful Wizard organization in Aouine. Just like wizard in many other places, their curiosity about secrets and knowledge is unparalleled. Like Buga wizard, in order to Explore those lost secrets. The footprints of Black Tower Wizard also spread throughout the kingdom each ruins. This mysterious forest is no exception.
"Lord Thane, you mean that Black Tower Wizard has sent an investigation team into this forest, and here ..." Laluna responded.
"It's almost the same as you guessed, but it's slightly different." Brando recalled the records on strategy guide about this place and replied: "Black Tower Wizard have entered this forest more than once in hundreds of years of history, except the center Dangerous area. They can say that they already know the area. "
He looked at Laluna and added: "You wouldn't think that the Anlieke guy would rush into this forest rashly, like me, there must be someone familiar with this forest, maybe that guy is also Black Tower Wizard. "
"But aren't Black Tower Wizard and Highland Knight allies, Brando you ..." Freya asked with some incomprehension.
"Lin Zi is big, but there are no birds, and not all Black Tower Wizards comply with the High Tower protocol." Ciel explained immediately.
"Correct is like this," Brando continued: "But this is not the topic we want to discuss. At that time Black Tower Wizard should come here to destroy a very powerful demonic item. They hope to use a certain magic formation here to thoroughly Destroy the demon thing -- from Gorgon Ravine "
He paused: "But there were traitors in the team at the time, wizard was seduced by the power of the demon, and the whole operation failed in the end. It is said that demonic item exploded violently on magic formation, and will be accompanied by nearly a hundred Black Tower Wizard Extreme apprentices exploded into fly ash. The souls of these people were corrode in the dark Mana, and gradually formed the Magewraith wandering here. "
"Nearly a hundred wizard?" Laluna took a breath of cold air, and she could imagine how terrible it was at the time.
Every other person's face also showed some solemn look.
But Brando just smiled. The whole incident was actually not as scary as they thought. If Black Tower Wizard hangs nearly a hundred official wizard at one time, this organization is probably not far from falling apart. The official wizard that day included only twelve traitors, and most of the others were apprentices.
But the remaining Magewraith is indeed a fact, he continued: "Of course, the demonic item was said to have died in the explosion, but Black Tower Wizard still established an observation post in this place for insurance. This post is said to have been used for nearly a hundred years. It was not abandoned until the last century. "
"Observation post?" Philas froze, couldn't help but look around: "Why didn't I see it. Was it already removed?"
"Of course not, the observation post of wizards will certainly not be those fortress towers you usually see." Nemesis, which has not been open at this time, suddenly said: "Brando, you were looking for the position of that post before. ? "
Brando nodded.
"The Mana position is a guide point. According to the wizards literature, the post should be next to the cedar tree, in the direction pointed by the shadow of the wings behind Medissa."
"But I didn't see anything." Philas glanced over there: "Muff that thing is in the sky."
Brando glanced at this guy a little silently, and now he started to believe in this guy's bullshit luck. I didn't expect the other party to talk casually, but it really hit me.
He raises head. Answer: "Yes, the real sentry tower Correct is in the sky. We need to find a way to summon it down."
"Call down?" Laluna frowned: "I see, it can help us deal with these Magewraith, right? Since wizards builds such a sentry tower, its role is to prevent these Magewraith."
"Correct is so," Brando slightly applauded. However, he understood that the Knight Young Lady from Kirrlutz was not quite right, in "Amber Sword". Many plot areas often pass more than one way. He also has a way to avoid the attention of those Magewraith sneaking away from the valley --, but Brando does not intend to give up such a large amount of experience, not to mention that if the record on strategy guide does not contain virtual fake, the sentry tower should be one of this Instance Treasure location.
This quest / mission is originally a additional reward.
But these words cannot be said naturally, he turned back: "Ciel, you should know the spell that Black Tower Wizard calls Wizard Tower."
Ciel nodded immediately, and replied in spirit / mind: "Forgot a lot after Profession Change, but at least remember one or two. After all, Black Tower Wizard was originally a part of Buga people."
"That's good," Brando glanced at the Magewraith in the distance and began to give an order: "It takes time to summon the sentry tower, but once spellcast starts. Magewraith over there will find us. So call the tower at Ciel Other people's quest / mission is to protect him from completing quest / mission. "
Brando's voice fell as if it were a signal of battle. The couples Nemesis, Freya, Laluna, and the guards immediately pulled out their swords. Scarlett and Medissa also picked up spear. Everyone subconsciously is arranged in a one and a half circle around the current position of Silver Elf Princess.
Brando showed a satisfactory look. Also pulled out Earth Sword and reminded: "Magewraith's attack method is very simple, they rarely fight hand to hand, but note that their attacks can penetrate Armor of tangible; also be careful of their spell, Medissa, Scarlett, you stay to protect spellcaster And Halutz. Others find ways to get close to them quickly. "
"I understand."
"Ciel, you start putting it."
The young Wizard attendant nodded. He stood behind Medissa and felt the position of the Mana mark. Then he raised magic staff and began to recite the spell that called Wizard Tower. And this non-extraordinary mantra seemed to be a striking signal in the darkness. Suddenly, everyone saw the light spots in the forest stopped slightly.
Then they suddenly rose up into the air, as if looking for the source of the spell, circled over the forest, turned around and rushed to this side.
"It is said in the literature that although most of Magewraith were outstanding wizard during their lifetime, they have long forgotten their profound knowledge. The spell they are good at is just the application of pure dark Mana. These disordered mana will not be maintained From a long distance, they usually launch the first wave of spell attacks at a distance of one hundred feet. "Medissa looked at the light groups, the first to remind.
The Magewraith floating in the dark is extremely fast, at this time already came close. Many people can clearly see their images. These light clusters that glow in the dark look like humans or elf images of upper body. They almost retain the appearance before their lives, but their faces and chests The front was covered with dark patterns of Mana corrode. There were no eyeballs in the eye sockets, but only a dark one.
This terrifying look left a deep impression on everyone, His Royal Highness Little Prince even screamed in shock.
"One hundred and forty-one feet, exactly." Brando stared in that direction, raised his sword, "measure the distance yourself."
Magewraith already stops at the edge of the forest, the distance is not different from the memory of Brando, that is exactly the longest range of their spell. These twisted creature raised their hands, and their hands became ugly, pointed and long because of the twisting of Mana. From these slender fingertips, suddenly a black flame sprayed out.
The tentacle-like black flames are intertwined. At that moment, it is like a huge black net falling from the sky, and everyone will be enveloped in it.
