The mage arrives

() Facing the approaching enemy, Gordon did not panic.He took out two bottles of potion from the dimensional bag, and drank it in a few gulps, the grace of a cat and the aura of jumping suddenly appeared on his body.Gordon, who is no longer a poor mage, has stored a sufficient amount of various magic potions in his dimensional bag just to deal with the current situation.

With the blessing of the cat's elegance, Gordon's agility attribute has reached 17 points, which has surpassed low-level rogues.With the help of jumping technique, he escaped easily before the encirclement closed.

"Bastard! This guy is going to run away!"

Gordon sneered, and took out the Bone Wand: "Want to run? Who said that?"

With a slight thought, six dark green water arrows shot out from the tip of the stick.

The eyes of the four attackers suddenly widened, and they watched the six acid arrows shoot towards them with incredulous eyes.Immediately, they stopped their forward rush and each rolled sideways, hoping to avoid the deadly acid.

However, two people were unfortunately hit by acid arrows.Two groups of dark green water flowers bloomed on the bodies of these two unlucky ghosts, like the most poisonous flowers.

blah blah...

The acid corroded the leather armor and clothing, and bit by bit, the flesh and bones were thoroughly and quickly stripped off.The acid made a seeping sound like a poisonous snake spitting on the human body, and a rancid smell spread in the air.

The power of the powerful Ma Youfu's strong acid arrow is so terrifying that it takes less than three seconds for a human body to be completely corroded and melted.

Rushing to the back, the guy dressed as the leader among the four attackers, saw the remaining two acid arrows running towards him, and when he couldn't avoid it, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the surviving companion, and stood in front of him .

"Ah!" The unlucky human shield only had time to let out a scream, and was killed by the acid arrow.

"It's ugly."

Gordon curled his lips, and the magic wand shot out two more green lights.

He originally thought that the opponent would take advantage of this opportunity to escape, so he fired two acid arrows, trying to seal the opponent's retreat.But Gordon obviously underestimated the opponent's determination.The leader of the attackers actually held the human shield that was constantly being corroded by acid, and rushed towards him!

He suddenly took out a crystal from his trouser pocket, crushed it, and then slammed it on the ground.

The tiny crystal fragments turned into crystal light spots in the air, and a burst of magical energy was released from them.

"Lion's Charge!"

Gordon's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect the other party to make such a move.As Gordon backed away quickly, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block in front of him.

"Haha, it's late!" The attacker suddenly threw away the corroded human shield.Under the blessing of the spell, he sprinted at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye, and instantly shortened the distance between himself and Gordon to zero.

Like electricity, the dagger pierced through the translucent disc-like mage shield with difficulty, leaving a half-shallow but not deep wound on Gordon's arm.

The pain made the mage's cheeks twitch violently, but Gordon, who has rich experience in actual combat in "The Ancient Era", did not lose his footing. He pressed the magic wand against the opponent's chest and shot another acid arrow.

"Now, you don't have a human shield to save your life."

The last attacker lost his life. In an instant, his chest was corroded by acid with a large hole in his body, and he fell down.

The sound of the system sounded.

"You killed three level-180 rogues and gained [-] experience points."

"You killed a level 100 rogue and gained [-] experience points."

"Attention, you are in a frozen state. When casting all spells that require action elements, you need to perform a spell-casting concentration check. If you fail the check, the spellcasting will fail. This state lasts for 72 hours, and the sixth-level magic spell 'healing' can remove this state .”

Gordon raised his arm and glanced at the wound caused by the dagger. The blood was mixed with a strange blue color. After moving around, he found that both hands were as if frozen, dull and numb, and his consciousness gradually disappeared.

"Damn it!" He cursed secretly, "It seems that Hao Lin and Dunville really did everything they could to win this duel."

This attack was obviously not for Gordon's life, otherwise the smear on the dagger would be deadly poison upon seeing blood.After being infected with this kind of stiffness poison, in a duel, Gordon's success rate of casting spells will definitely drop greatly.

As in any cliché cop-and-gang action movie, the fire-drawn patrol arrives belatedly after Gordon kills four of his attackers.

"Mr. Mage, may I ask what happened here?" The patrol captain was taken aback by the four unrecognizable corpses on the ground, but he didn't dare to be arrogant in front of the mage's robe when facing Gordon who had created all this. Just asked politely.

"They came to attack me and I killed them, it's that simple." Gordon's voice was as cold as ice.Obviously, he was trying to suppress his anger.

The patrol captain secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, summoned up his courage and said, "I'd better trouble you and me to go back and investigate."

"I'm Baron Gordon Freeman. I'm in a hurry. I'm going to teach a despicable and shameless guy a lesson. Do you understand?"

"But..." The patrol captain still wanted to insist, but when he saw the raging anger in Gordon's dark eyes—even though the anger was not aimed at him, the third-level soldier's heart still jumped unexpectedly After a few clicks, I could barely open my mouth.

"Lord Baron, please do yourself a favor. I will personally come to inquire about the attack at a convenient time."

Watching the back of Gordon leaving, the patrol captain and several of his subordinates let out a sigh of relief at the same time, their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

"I don't know who has angered this mage, someone is going to be in trouble," they thought.

……

Platinum Plaza, 45:[-] a.m.

After Gordon and Hao Lin expanded their publicity intentionally or unintentionally, this duel attracted a large number of adventurers to watch.Even many pedestrians passing by couldn't help but stop and stay, to take a look at the excitement.

Whether it is in the wild orc tribe, food and slaves are determined by muscles and fists; or in the luxurious and elegant palace, wielding a sharp rapier to decide who can win glory or love; In the city of Seoul, use poisoned daggers and magic to decide who is the matriarch of the family.In the Talos world where the rule of law is not yet sound, dueling is a very common activity, and many people even regard it as the fairest and most effective way to resolve conflicts.

Today, another duel that the people love to see is about to begin, and what is special is that the protagonists of this duel are two mages.

It is exciting to think of the calm and wise mages who are usually using their spells to fight to the death in the duel arena.Even after the spell slots are used up, it is very likely that there will be a rare scene of two mages holding sticks and daggers, fighting close to each other-this is much rarer and more exciting than two barbarian warriors fighting back and forth.

Everyone is looking forward to this duel.As for the focus of the dispute between the two mages: whether Hao Lin spread rumors to slander Gordon, no one cares now—it is enough to leave everything to the fair platinum dragon god Bahemut.

Hao Lin was staying in a luxury carriage, sitting side by side with Dunville.He looked relaxed and confident.

"There are still 15 minutes until the duel begins. It seems that Gordon is going to be late."

"Four professional thieves surprise a low-level mage, and they shouldn't miss. Gordon will consume a few spell slots, and he will also be stained with the stiffness poison I bought with a lot of money. Your chances of winning will be great, Mage Hao Lin." Deng said. Will flashed a sinister smile.

Hao Lin disagreed: "You are too careful. With my strength, even if I don't use this method, I can easily crush Gordon to death."

"Gorden is not an idiot. Do you really think that he has no means of hiding and would offer to fight you? If he wins this time, Gordon will fall into the abyss with no possibility of recovery. His title of baron, his beauty My younger sister will be at your fingertips. Therefore, I must be cautious."

"Then, Mr. Dunville, enjoy in a moment how I torment Gordon."

"I'm going to enjoy the process."

At eight fifty, Gordon finally appeared.

As a disciple of the Lannister family, Dawn, one of the witnesses to the duel, greeted him: "The duel is about to begin... Your arm is injured! What happened?"

"It's nothing, I killed four dirty mice, this little injury doesn't matter." Gordon said lightly.Although the success rate of casting spells will be affected due to the toxin of stiffness, but after this period of accumulation and unremitting practice, his spellcasting concentration skill has reached 8 points.As long as you don't use spells with a complexity higher than level three, your body shouldn't be too much affected by the toxin.

"Looking at your face, you should have been poisoned by stiffness. I think it is extremely unwise to go on stage in this state to fight." A melodious female voice came.Gordon looked over and found a tall and slim blond paladin in silver armor walking towards him.Beside her, followed by Pastor Jack.

"Paladin Renas?" Gordon remembered, isn't this the paladin who cut off the clone of the demon king in the cemetery?That night, this blond, blue-eyed, heroic paladin left a deep impression on Gordon.

Donne saw a beautiful woman appearing out of nowhere, who seemed to have some relationship with Gordon. He wanted to tease the two of them, but he glanced at the long sword hanging from Renas's waist, and decided to quietly retreat to the side. wonderful.

"At the invitation of Pastor Jack, I came to take a look at this duel." Renas nodded slightly to Gordon, which was regarded as a greeting.

Pastor Jack who was following her couldn't laugh or cry: "Obviously you came here by yourself, when did I invite you?"

But this kind of words will not be said, he is just an ordinary pastor, a middle-level member of the church, and Reinas is the darling favored by Ms. Liming.

Pastor Jack was invited to watch the duel today, mainly because he wanted to see how the originator of the rumors, Hao Lin, who let himself be insulted by adventurers, failed.But Gordon's physical condition does not seem optimistic.

"To remove the toxins in your body, you need a sixth-level divine spell 'healing', but now where is the time to find a senior priest who knows a sixth-level divine spell?" Pastor Jack was worried.

"It's very simple, please rest assured, Pastor Jack." Reynas said, pulling out the silver sword from her waist.

In the morning sunlight, the streamlined sword body reflected the light as bright as the rising sun.Inlaid with three dawn diamonds, a complex and beautiful line of words is engraved on the sun-shaped gauntlet: "Even though the night is long, the dawn will eventually come."

"This is... dawn!" Pastor Jack exclaimed.
