Lord of the Black Mist: Begin with Infinite Activation

Chapter 107 106. Arrive
In the end, Allen still didn't learn sword skills from Ashes.

Because it was a long and arduous process, training not only skills, but also strength, reaction and resistance to blows, etc.

Allen had seen the training facility Ashes built for the soldiers. On the huge wooden frame leaning against the city wall, there were single-plank bridges, sandbags swinging back and forth, swings for testing balance, and broken bridges for jumping ability, etc.

The whole process was just like the breakout show Alan watched in his previous life.

These training facilities are set up in the air, three or four meters above the ground, and they will fall from them if they are not careful.

And those soldiers have to run dozens of times back and forth on it every day.

Ashes said that the improvement of the level does not mean the skill and reaction ability, only by walking on the ground like walking on the ground, can one survive better on the battlefield.

Therefore, all soldiers promoted by Allen must undergo such training.

And those activated soldiers still screamed for pain when they fell from above, and Allen felt that it would be even worse if he fell from above.

So he finally chose to study magic runes with Angela.

The so-called magic runes can be understood as a language that can communicate with elements, and this language must use magic as a medium to use it.

It is impossible to ascertain when this language was born. At the same time, many scholars and mages still believe that runes were not created by humans, and humans just discovered its existence.

Mastering magic runes can help mages better understand the meaning of magic. More importantly, the most basic of all magic items and item enchantments is magic runes.

A mage mixes various materials that contain magic power or are related to elements to make dyes with certain elemental properties, and then use them to draw magic runes on weapons or armor. This is the process of enchanting.

Of course, the whole process is more complicated than that.

The basic process of making magic items is the same as this, but the carrier of the rune itself contains a certain amount of magic power, which will encounter various problems, making the making of magic items more difficult than enchanting.

As a beginner of magic runes, Allen's first step is to copy the runes with ordinary pen and ink.

……

"My lord, you are really talented!"

In the basement of Fort Dawn, Angela looked at the rune copied by Allen on the animal skin in her hand, and couldn't help but praise,
"I didn't expect that you can learn runes so quickly without knowing how to write!"

Who told you I can't write, I just can't write your words.

Allen couldn't help but reply in his heart.

The self in this world really doesn't know how to write very well, but Alan could write well in his previous life.

Moreover, many of the characters in his previous life were no simpler than these runes, so Allen learned them easily.

He disassembled many runes, and practiced the common parts like strokes, as well as the parts he was not good at, and then combined them for practice.

However, the copying of magic runes does not require any cadence, let alone any genre and style, there is only one thing to do-exactly the same.

It would be even better if it could be replicated.

"But my lord, don't break the strokes when you draw the runes. It's better to keep all the strokes even, because the effect of the runes often depends on the place where the ink of the strokes is the least..."

Angela put the animal skin on the stone platform, bent down and told Alan one by one the problems she saw on the runes.

It's just that the loose magic robe fluttered back and forth with her movements, and it was difficult for Allen to focus on Angela's words.

"...My lord, I don't have enough materials right now, so you can only copy on animal skins for the time being, so you should continue to practice."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Allen withdrew his gaze, rolled up the animal hide and turned to leave the basement.

"This person really owes me, I can obviously just order..."

Allen was muttering in his heart, and Crete ran towards him quickly.

When Crete came to him, Allen immediately asked, "What happened?"

"My lord, we seem to have found the island that Miss Angela mentioned!"

……

……

In the vast sea, Angela actually didn't know the exact location of the temple of the dark oak demigod.

All she knew was an approximate location and a poem describing the island.

So the sailing speed of Dawn Island is very slow these days. Every time they pass by an island, Crete will lead the army to search and hunt along the way.

……

"The sharp blade plunges obliquely into the heart of the endless sea,
The seeds of life bloom in flames,
Every burn and destruction is but the filth of the body,
Eternal will will be rippling in the grassland breeze. "

After reciting the poem, Crete pointed to the front and introduced, "That mountain should be the sword."

Allen looked in the direction that Crete pointed, and there was indeed a mountain obliquely inserted into the ground, which looked like a long sword from a distance.

"What about the heart mentioned in the poem?"

Alan asked.

"You need to take a look with me to understand this."

Speaking of which, Crete immediately rode on the pterodactyl, and Allen also turned over and sat on Zoe's back.

"You come with me."

Crete shook the reins and flew into the sky, followed by Allen riding Zoe.

Allen was still a little confused at first, but as the flight altitude continued to increase, the entire island appeared in Allen's vision.

He also saw the outline of the island.

At this time, without Crete explaining anything, Allen also understood that the so-called "heart" was the island.

Because the whole island looks like a heart.

"It turns out that this is the so-called heart of the endless sea."

Allen murmured a sigh, then looked at Crete, and continued to ask: "So you also found the corresponding flames in the poem, didn't you?"

Crete nodded, pointed to another mountain not far from the inclined peak, and introduced,

"The middle of the mountain is empty, and there are various cracks around the mountain, filled with lava-like rocks, so it should be a volcano.

And there is a vast grassland under that volcano, and the last few sentences of the poem should be this place. "

Crete looked back and reported to Allen: "It's just that we haven't found any information about the demigod temple yet. Next, I plan to take the soldiers to search the entire island..."

"Search the entire island? This island looks as big as two Nord Islands. Searching is not a small matter!"

Allen pondered for a while, then suddenly asked:
"If the first three games were describing the characteristics of the island, why did you add the last sentence 'what is the eternal will that has been wandering on the grassland'?"

"You mean..."

Crete suddenly realized when he heard this, and looked at Allen with sparkling eyes, "You mean that temple may be under this grassland?!"

Allen smiled and said, "I'm not sure. But, maybe you can try it from this aspect."

"No problem, my lord!"

Crete shook the reins and descended rapidly on the pterodactyl.

……

……

On the beach full of reefs, the waves washed over and over again, but they still couldn't save the solution of the low tide, and gradually shrunk into the ocean.

At this time, on the shore of the reef washed by the sea, a dozen short humans with a height of about 1.3 meters four were picking and choosing.

Although these humans are short in stature, their bodies are exceptionally strong, and their faces are covered with beards, making them look quite young.

The reason why they shuttled among the reefs was to pick out the marine life left behind after the tide receded, and on the other hand to search for possible ores.

And when these short humans were seriously searching, pieces of fish-like heads suddenly appeared in the receding sea water, causing them to stop their movements immediately.

"Murloc! Damn it! It's these ugly guys again!"

A rough voice erupted from the mouth of a short human, and then he roared,
"Quick, go back first!"

The remaining short humans on the shore were very obedient, and quickly ran behind the rocks on the shore!

Immediately afterwards, they opened up the place covered by the bushes, immediately picked up a handful of weapons and pointed at the murlocs in front of them!
The weapons in the hands of these short humans are bows and crossbows!

And the arms of the crossbows in their hands are not made of wood, but made of metal, which is extremely powerful!

"Whoosh!"

With bursts of rapid sounds, sharp arrows streaked across the air, instantly piercing through the murloc's head!

The murlocs who rushed to the front were like wheat, falling down on the coast in pieces!

Seeing this, the murloc also shot the harpoon forward, but the range of the harpoon was too short, and it fell to the ground just halfway through the flight!

These short humans have been hiding behind the reef, and the charging murlocs were directly targeted by them, and they shot them to the ground in pieces!
However, it still takes time to assemble the bow and crossbow. It was in this gap that the murlocs rushed to the rock where the short humans were hiding by relying on constant death!
It was no longer necessary to use crossbows at this time. These short humans threw down their crossbows, picked up their axes and rushed into the crowd of fish, fighting with them immediately!
Although these humans are short in stature, their strength is surprisingly large!
The huge ax that was almost as tall as them was whistling in their hands, but there was no sign of exertion at all!

Just under this giant axe, the murloc's head was weaker than a watermelon, and it was smashed to a bloody mess in a blink of an eye, and fell directly on the beach, turning into a dead fish.

A bloody massacre was staged on the coast for a while, and the black reef was soon dyed blood red!
But there are too many murlocs, far exceeding the number of short humans.

Even though they had killed hundreds of them, there were still a large number of murlocs pouring out of the sea.

These dozen or so short men were not machines after all. Under the constant siege of the murlocs, they gradually began to be unable to support, their steps were vain, and they seemed to be in a state of exhaustion.

"No, there are too many annoying murlocs! Let's go back first!"

The short man who gave orders before roared, and then led the tribe back.

But the murlocs didn't give them such a chance at all, and quickly surrounded them without leaving a single gap.

And these short human beings have also reached the end of their strength, and began to pant heavily, and some of them can't even lift the axes in their hands.

The murlocs in the sea still rushed toward them without fear of life or death, holding rusty harpoons in their hands, stabbing their bodies non-stop.

In the end, these short humans still couldn't resist the siege of the murlocs, roaring angrily, and fell under the harpoon one by one.

However, these murlocs did not give up. After killing these short humans, they continued to rush towards the island.

……

……

Crete followed Allen's guidance, and then ordered all the legions to conduct a carpet search on the grasslands around the volcano.

The troll legion was no exception, and even Jin Rocco personally led the team and started searching in the north of the island.

And Jin Rocco knew that he was careless. Although he was used to fighting in the jungle, he was not good at searching for such careful tasks.

So he mobilized a more careful half-troll brigade to follow him, and also brought the newly formed Direhorn army.

Jin Roque, who has already eaten the sweetness, is very pure now, he just wants to reflect the value of trolls in front of Allen.

"Look carefully for me. If anyone can find the entrance to the temple, I will give him two, no, four wives!"

Jin Rocco yelled loudly at the troll soldiers.

"Yes, the patriarch!"

The trolls responded in unison, quickly dispersed and began to search in the grassland.

However, the entrance to the temple is not as easy to find as imagined.

The trolls have been busy for a long time, but still have no clues.

The impatient Jin Rocco didn't have much patience at all, and the more he waited, the more anxious he became.

Distraught, he couldn't do anything for a while, so he could only shuttle back and forth in the jungle.

Just when he was about to flatten the surrounding area, a direhorn knight galloped over.

Jin Rocco was overjoyed when he saw this, and asked loudly, "Did you find it!"

"No, Lord Patriarch!"

The direhorn knight replied: "A group of ugly monsters with fish heads, big eyes and harpoons rushed out of the woods in the north, and they are already fighting with our soldiers!"

"Fish head and big eyes? Could it be a murloc?"

Jin Rocco still has something to do, and he reacted immediately.

He then waved his hand and ordered: "Assemble the first and second brigades, follow me!"

At this time, Jin Rocco was already very irritable, and urgently needed a fight to release his mood.

What's more, if you can't find the temple, collecting some corpses for my lord is considered a meritorious service.

"Yes, the patriarch!"

The two troll centurions responded together, quickly assembled the army, and rushed to the forest to the north with Jin Roque!

……

When two hundred trolls rushed to the battlefield, the trolls here were fighting fiercely with the murlocs!

There were so many murlocs that the mighty crowd could not be seen for a while, and it seemed that there were at least thousands of them!
But the trolls have long been used to fighting monsters in the black mist, so they didn't feel the slightest when they saw it.

Facing this kind of battle, Jin Rocco didn't have any special battle arrangements.

With a wave of the scimitar in his hand, the two centurions reacted immediately and rushed into the crowd of fish with their respective teams from the left and right sides!

The strength of these murlocs was very weak, about the same as ordinary human soldiers, and they seemed to be no more than level three at most.

With the help of Allen, the trolls have a minimum strength of level six.

Facing these short murlocs, they were like a pack of wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, causing a bloody storm in an instant!
The sharp scimitar easily peeled open the fish skin, and the murloc's blood was sprayed on the grass, and a strong stench filled the forest immediately!

Jin Roque was even more exaggerated. Relying on his own strength and regenerative characteristics, he rushed directly into the crowd of fish, waving the scimitar in his hand without thinking!

As he ran, the heads of the murlocs flew up into the air, like ripe ears of wheat being harvested continuously!

At this time, several half-trolls suddenly realized something, followed Jin Roque into the murlocs, and shouted,

"Lord patriarch, my lord's order, try to keep the whole body, keep the whole body!"

Jin Rocco, who was fighting vigorously among the murlocs, immediately reacted when he heard the sound, but when he turned around, there were already corpses without fish heads around him.
