The mage arrives

Gordon left the ancient road and picked up the demon statue that was previously hidden in the corner.

When he walked out of the cave, there was already a little crow on his shoulder.Its body is made of pure white translucent crystal, and its eyes are jewel-like dazzling green.

This uniquely shaped bird is a gem creature.

In the world of Telos, there is a well-known common sense, that is, all kinds of gems are substances that can gather source energy and have the best affinity for magical energy.If certain special conditions are met, natural gems can gain autonomous consciousness under the action of source energy, and evolve step by step to become gem creatures with specific forms.

Among them, the most famous one is Gem Dragon.

Compared with the most common metal dragons of the good alignment or the five-color dragons of the evil alignment, gemstone dragons are very rare and powerful, even comparable to special dragons such as coordination dragons, force field dragons, time dragons, and rainbow dragons.

Gem creatures are a very special form of life.They have bodies, but no flesh and blood; they are similar to constructed creatures, but they have their own independent consciousness.

This kind of creature with inorganic material as its body and driven by pure energy can be regarded as a special branch of fine creatures.

Gem creatures have no sex and naturally cannot reproduce like normal creatures.

Usually, the lifespan of gemstone creatures is extremely long, and they can even be said to be immortal. They don't need to increase their lifespan by continuously improving their strength like human beings.But in some unexpected cases, they will still die.

For example, Archmage Cyprus Ding's magic pet Poser, in order to allow the master to complete the legendary spell, dedicated his life.

But after death, gem creatures don't really disappear.They retain within their bodies a seed of energy that scholars of gem creatures call a "gem soul".

when sufficient conditions are met.This energy seed will thrive, reviving the long-dead icy body and giving birth to new life.

This process is somewhat similar to Phoenix Nirvana.

It can be said that Gordon's current magic pet "Quack" is actually a descendant of Archmage Cyprus Ding's magic pet "Poser".

The jeweled crow standing on Gordon's shoulder is still very small, and it seems that it still has a certain period of time to grow.But after looking at its property panel, Gordon is still very satisfied.

Gem Raven (White Crystal)

Name: Gaga

Special ability. Intelligence increase: Provide the owner with an extra two points of intelligence.

Special Ability. Arcane Connection: The pet establishes an arcane channel with its master, and can cast any spell mastered by the master.The mana consumed is drawn from the master's mana pool.three times a day.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the increase in intelligence, almost all crow-like familiars.All have this ability.The extra two points of intelligence are very valuable for mages. For Gordon, coupled with the blood mage's "scarlet contract" ability, he can also get a little bonus to physical attributes.Very useful.

And the ability of arcane connection can be said to give Gordon a clone that can cast spells at will.Not to mention the combination of two different spells.Can have many wonderful uses.It is the simplest and crudest way to cast two offensive spells at the same time, such as Freeman Missile Storm or Fireball, which has already doubled the instantaneous firepower output.

This is simply too practical.

In addition to these two abilities that belong exclusively to Gem Crow, other common abilities of familiars, such as sensory sharing.There are also things like life sharing.

Although the crow is not a magic pet with strong direct combat power, it uses its characteristics as a flying creature to do scouting and vigilance.Just as good.

When he returned to Andori Town, Gordon suddenly found that there were more strangers who didn't look like local residents.

Perhaps it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is a stranger.Because most of them have impressions of Gordon.When they held a celebration banquet with Ronald and others in Ashes Town, they almost had a conflict with a bald man.He remembered that those people came from a mercenary group called "Bi Ren".

Gordon had a good memory, and he had seen most of the faces of these people in Andorley Town.But last time these mercenaries were wearing miscellaneous clothes, but now, they were wearing uniform black clothes and green robes.

"Strange." Gordon quietly looked at these mercenaries, and said to himself.

Apart from the locals and the occasional tourists who came to visit the ancient road, there were very few mercenaries in the town of Andori.Because there are no relic cave dungeons around this town, where treasures are buried and can attract mercenaries and adventurers.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.Gordon had a very bad impression of the Jade Blade Mercenary Group. Now that the other party appeared in this remote and quiet town, he must investigate.

Gordon found a corner and hid quietly, summoned the gemstone Crow Quack, and then blessed it with an invisibility spell.

He closed his eyes, feeling the seemingly illusory but extremely strong spiritual connection with his familiar.

When he opened his eyes again, Gordon's pupils also glowed with an emerald-like light.The sharing of senses has been turned on. At this time, Gordon can also see the picture seen in the eyes of the gemstone crow Quack, and Gordon can also hear the sound it hears - of course, the premise is that the magic pet is in high within Deng's command range.

The invisible crow flew up and circled over the small town of Andoli, and soon discovered that the mercenaries of the Jade Blade Mercenary Group were entering a long stone house in a file.

Gordon commanded the jeweled crow, lowered its height, and flew in quietly through the chimney of the longhouse.

……

"Have everyone arrived?" Wearing cold iron scale armor, with a melancholy demeanor, the head of the Jade Blade Mercenary Group Elsas Saza Jaxiri, who looked more like a poet than a warrior, was leaning against an old At the old desk, listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"Head, a total of 40 people, divided into four batches, all arrived today." A subordinate said.

Beside Elsas, the red-haired Zogar with a sullen complexion stretched his waist, showing an excited expression: "Great, it's finally the day! I want to kill men, I want to rape women! I want to do my best!" spreading fear and death!"

"Don't worry, we still have the final steps to complete. You should learn more from Mr. Sarando's composure." Elsas looked aside.Ritter and his son were standing quietly by the wall, nodding to him.

"It's just two stray dogs..." Zogar said with a smile.His voice was not loud, and he seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact, it was just enough for everyone in the room to hear.

Sarando and his father Long showed slight anger on their faces, but they didn't say anything.

This time, it is the key for the Ritter family to regain the favor of the Sansheng Baptist Church and to rise again, and it cannot be complicated.So the father and son just endured Zogar's provocation in silence.

At this time, all the windows of this room were blocked, and in the semi-closed longhouse, a temporary altar had been set up—a basin of blood as a sacrifice was placed on it.The magic circle on the floor has also been drawn, and everything is ready.

Except for Elsas, Zogar, and Ritter and his son, the other mercenaries of the Jade Blade Mercenary Group all took off their hoods and stood in a circle around the altar.

Elsas walked over, took out one glass test tube after another from the dimensional bag, and distributed them to these subordinates.

These glass test tubes contained fiery red liquid, and bubbles were still popping out from time to time.

After distributing forty red reagents, Elsass ordered: "Drink it, my brothers, you will gain infinite power!"

The mercenaries pulled the plug as promised.A smell of sulfurous flames mixed with the madness of the abyss immediately filled the entire longhouse.

The fiery red liquid flowed down the throat into the stomach and was quickly absorbed by the body.

Immediately afterwards, the mercenaries underwent an astonishing change.

They shook their bodies first, screamed in pain, fell and curled up on the ground, and then twitched non-stop.Half of the mercenaries twitched for a while, then stopped moving completely.They didn't survive the impact of the berserk energy in the red liquid, and lost their lives.

As for the other half of the mercenaries, after violent convulsions, their bodies began to undergo astonishing changes.Their skin turned dark red, their muscles swelled rapidly, and their entire body size more than doubled in the blink of an eye.The nails became black and sharp, like the sharpest black steel blade, and a horn grew out of the center of his forehead.

The first evolved mercenary stood up, opened his eyes, and his pupils turned into thin red lines like purgatory lava.

"Captain Elsass, I feel like I have been reborn!" the mercenary said in a dull and rough voice.

"Very good!" Elsas, who had long black hair, couldn't help applauding, "Although the magic potion is not perfect, the success rate of 50.00% is already very good. It seems that the Church of Tiamat Sure enough, he has the strength to be able to produce such a powerful thing.”

"The five-color dragon god is cooperating with Lord Dimodo to develop new creatures with stronger fighting power. These demonized humans are just preliminary experiments. I heard that the first abyssal dragon will soon Born!" said Zogar.

The gemstone crow hiding in the pile of charcoal in the fireplace conveyed the complete conversation between the two to Gordon's ears, which surprised him.

Dimodo is an abyssal demon lord of the same level as Akatu Te, and one of the top leaders of the Sansheng Baptist Church.Unexpectedly, this guy hooked up with the five-color dragon god Tiamat.A demon, an evil god, is actually cooperating to create a new race.

The abyss dragon, just hearing the name, is a new creature with dual characteristics of a devil and a dragon.Gordon doesn't know how powerful it is, but it will definitely bring great trouble to Tiamat's mortal enemy, the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut. (To be continued..)
