The mage arrives

() Most of the human fear comes from the unknown.Gordon knew that this world was different from the earth. Undead creatures such as ghosts, dead souls, and skeletons did exist, and undead creatures could be destroyed.So when he saw the green will-o'-the-wisp approaching him with the rattling sound of bones rubbing against each other, he didn't panic.

Gordon's hand reached into the mage's robe, tightly grasping the material that released the magic missile.

Twenty small pockets are sewn into the lining of standard mage robes to hold various spellcasting materials.There are also ten buckles around the waist, which can be used to place various potions or magic wands.

The design of the mage's robe is similar to that of the individual soldier's portable suit in the technological world.

The reason why this kind of mage robes appeared is because mage battles are a bit like duels in the west. Whoever has the faster hand speed and can quickly take out spell-casting materials and various magic props is also an important factor in determining the outcome.

It is said that the tailor who invented the standard mage robe was given an extremely generous reward by the goddess of magic because he improved the overall combat ability of the mainland mages.

clack clack...

clack clack...

The grinding sound of people's teeth getting closer and closer.

Gordon finally saw the uninvited guest who came in the middle of the night.

A bone frame that has been around for some years, the surface has shown a gray and decayed color.It appeared to have just crawled out of a grave, still covered in dirt.A few bugs crawled in and out of the empty pupils.

The skeleton was holding a rusty two-handed sword. When he found Gordon, the green flame on his chest jumped and burned even more vigorously.

The hatred and hatred for the life instinct made the skeleton warriors attack Gordon.

Naturally, Gordon will not sit still.

Two drop-shaped energy radiating light silver light flew out from Gordon's fingertips.In the dark night, the magic missile trailed a faint trail and accurately hit the skeleton warrior's face.

"Boom! Boom!" The force field energy contained in the two missiles was released instantly, making the skeleton warrior feel as if he had received two heavy punches. Suddenly, several decayed teeth collapsed, and a crack appeared on the skull.

"The power is too small." Gordon shook his head.

As a third-level mage, when he casts the magic missile spell, he can launch two missiles at once, but the lethality is still slightly insufficient.

If he reaches level nine, then the power of the magic missile spell will reach its maximum, and five missiles can be launched at a time.

The skeleton warrior was quite tenacious. After eating two of Gordon's magic missiles, he staggered back a few steps, and then rushed over stubbornly again.

Gordon quickly added a jumping technique to himself, leaped and jumped onto the small roof.

With no bone support and no muscle tissue, the athletic ability of this low-level skeleton is far inferior to that of a human, let alone compared with Gordon, who is as flexible as a flea under the blessing of jumping.He's on the roof, already invincible.

Magic Missile is the only level [-] lethal spell that Gordon has mastered.Although it is not very powerful in his hands, no matter how strong the bone frame is, it cannot withstand the continuous attacks of magic missiles.

Two magic missiles are not enough?Well, let's get another ten or twenty, anyway, Master Fa, I have enough mana!

Whoa!

The continuous magic attacks finally extinguished the green flame in the skeleton's chest cavity.Losing the drive of negative energy, the skeleton suddenly turned into a pile of broken bones, without any movement.

A little golden light rose from the pile of bones, and then sank into Gordon's chest.

He received a system prompt: "Get 10 experience points."

"It's not worth it."

In order to defeat the skeleton, Gordon consumed 14 silver coins worth of casting materials.

Therefore, it is definitely a matter of investing more than output for low-level mages to participate in the battle rashly.

Gordon walked a few times around the pile of skeletons that had been blasted into pieces by magic missiles, and suddenly his eyes lit up, radiating the excitement of a gold digger finding a gold mine.

He removed a necklace from the broken neck bone.This is a beautifully crafted silver necklace. After applying a detection magic to himself, Gordon concentrated his attention and saw a faint magical aura emanating from the pendant.

"It's actually a magic item!"

It is a pity that due to the erosion of the years, the surface of the silver necklace has been oxidized, and it is pitch black, losing its former brilliant luster.Moreover, the runes and circles engraved on the necklace have already been destroyed, losing their original magical effect.

But for Gordon, it doesn't matter.As long as you melt and refine the necklace, you can get pure and brand new silver.The materials for making enchanted items are available!

Although it is not very good to take the things of the dead, the dead has been polluted by negative energy and turned into an undead, so this is not considered blasphemy of the dead, and Gordon has no conscience.It's like killing monsters and exploding equipment.

After this little episode, nothing else happened in the cemetery.

After successfully passing the night, Gordon ushered in the rising sun in the morning.

Facing the golden sunshine, Pastor Jack of the Temple of Dawn came to the cemetery to hand over the work.

"How is it, Master Gordon, did you go well last night?"

Gordon pointed to the pile of bones outside the hut, and said, "It's okay, but there is a guest who came uninvited."

Pastor Jack looked at the bones scattered by Gordon, and his expression suddenly became serious.

This is a fantasy world full of energy.It is not uncommon for dead people to be transformed into undead due to the influence of negative energy.Although the appearance of undead in the cemetery is not a happy thing, but looking at the priest's frown, Gordon felt that things seemed not so simple.

Pastor Jack glanced at the skeleton's two-handed sword: "Judging from the coat of arms on the hilt, this is the ancestor of Viscount Barto's family. I have to send someone to inform his family. In addition, these bones cannot be buried again. For To avoid the erosion of residual negative energy, it must be cremated..."

"Pastor Jack," Gordon asked, "why is there a magic circle to suppress the accumulation of negative energy, but there are still undead in the cemetery?"

Meridia's devout follower sighed: "Usually, the magic circle is enough to suppress negative energy and prevent the dead from turning into undead. But this year is a bit special."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Forget it, it's not a confidential matter. Since you work for the temple, you have the right to know... Do you know what the year name was last year?"

At the end of each year, the astrologers on the high tower will sum up a year name based on the major events or major changes that occurred in that year.

"Last year was the year 936 of the Fourth Age, which the astrologers called the 'Year of the Crow.'" Gordon's history skills come into play at times like these.He quickly said the answer.

"Then do you know what Black Crow means?"

As a mage, no matter how poor and weak he is, he can afford to be knowledgeable.Gordon thought for a while and replied: "The black crow is the symbol of the God of Death. She is also known as the Queen of Crows and is in charge of all death in the world."

The pastor nodded, and said: "Last year, the Raven Queen issued an oracle, but her church was divided because of this, and then internal strife and division. After that, the negative energy of the main material world also became active, and the sleeping dead One after another turned into undead creatures, walking under the moonlight... It was also from that time that we built holy shrines in the cemetery and set up magic circles to suppress the intrusion of negative energy on the dead. But judging from the current situation , this measure is not enough.”

It turned out to be the case.

Gordon nodded.However, these major events related to God and world changes have no effect on him.What he focuses on is still how to make money to improve his life and pay off his debts. ;
