The mage arrives

"Negative Energy?!"

Upon hearing this word, Pastor Angelo immediately ran over.

In many cases, negative energy means undead, and the bounden duty of a priest is to eliminate or save undead.

It was very unreasonable for a group of frost wolves to actively attack heavily armed humans.Creatures like wolves are extremely cunning. If they are not extremely hungry or desperate, they will never take the initiative to attack an enemy that they are not sure of defeating.

And the vibrant scene of Siwanan Canyon is obviously not a desolate place where food is scarce. These frost wolves are fat and strong, and there is no sign of starvation.

So what is the reason for a group of frost wolves, who are not in danger of survival, to attack Gordon and others like crazy?

This is worth pondering.

"Sir Polivich, I remember you said before that on the ancient road, after the remnant blood of the Siding Kingdom entered, they fought fiercely with the pursuers and escaped after going through all kinds of hardships, right? ?”

"Yes."

"On the battlefield, there are often many deaths, and it is also a place where obsession and resentment gather. It is not strange to have undead."

"I thought we would be safe for the time being after we entered the ancient road and got rid of the demons. I didn't expect to meet the undead." Viscount Angelo said with a wry smile.This priest is not a battle mad like a barbarian.It can be seen from his slightly protruding belly that he is more used to a comfortable and comfortable life.

After some inspection, Gordon and Viscount Angelo finally confirmed that these frost wolves were probably infected by negative energy, became delirious, and became crazy, so they attacked them.But purely negative energies can only weaken, sicken, and even kill living beings, and do not disturb the spirit.So there's something odd about it.

"Everyone, take a break. We will investigate the origin of these frost wolves in a while."

"How to track them? There are no hunters among us," said the barbarian warrior.

"You don't have to worry about that, Bernie." Gordon said confidently, and then started to get busy.

Seeing that Gordon was so confident, the others tidied up and went to rest.

The four knights had no retinues by their side, so they could only help each other take off their armor, and then took away the cold-proof lining inside.As for Falia, of course it was impossible to ask a man for help. She and Xiona two girls quietly walked into the forest, and when they reappeared in front of everyone after a while, the fur fabric inside the armor had also been removed.

Gordon glanced at Faria.Suddenly, she realized that she was wearing this set of silver-gray full-body armor, wasn't it the equipment she used in the duel with her before?

He remembered that he defeated the opponent in a disgraceful way that time, and even made the grand duke's daughter cry...

Hair removal is really a good spell.I don't know how long it has been.Does her hair grow back now?

Gordon gave an odd smile.It has been a long time since the embarrassing experience between the two of them at the beginning, and now I think about it.He also found it quite amusing.

His expression was just caught by Falia.Although the girl can't see through Gordon's inner activities.But I always felt that the other party was thinking about something bad, so I couldn't help but glared at the dreaming mage.

Xie Ona glanced at her friend, then at her brother, always feeling that there was some secret between the two that she didn't know.

Gordon coughed dryly, and decided to finish the matter at hand first.

When Burdisso helped her hunt the Phantom Fox in order to pursue Tracy.A magic ritual was once performed to track down the phantom fox.Gordon didn't say anything at the time, but in terms of proficiency in magic rituals, he is definitely infinitely better than Burdisso.

Because rituals are complex rituals that create magical effects.You just need to remember the process and prepare enough materials.For those who perform the ritual, there are no requirements for arcane attainments.

Even a warrior who does not know magic, or even an ordinary person, can use magic rituals to achieve his goals.

Of course, the prerequisites for performing magic rituals are not simple.Sometimes, you want to find the correct scroll or tome that records the ritual process, and gather all the ritual materials, which is more troublesome than learning spells yourself.

But for Gordon, who has accumulated a lot of knowledge of magical rituals in "The Ancient Era", everything is not a problem.In his dimensional bag, there happened to be materials that could perform a magic ritual "Ask Nature".

Through this magic ceremony, Gordon can communicate with the free spirits in nature, and obtain information about terrain, plants, mineral veins, water bodies, creatures, etc. within five kilometers of the surrounding environment.

The various alchemy materials, reagents, herbs, incense, etc. needed to perform this ritual add up to more than 150 gold coins, which is equivalent to the price of a four-ring spell scroll.Therefore, as long as there is anything related to magic, there is nothing cheap.

Magic rituals not only cost a lot of money, but also take a lot of time to arrange.For ordinary people, this is a shortcut to master supernatural and mysterious power, and for mages, it is an effective supplement to their own magic system.If a mage like Gordon does not have too many prophecy spells, he can replace the role of spells through magic rituals.

An hour later, this not too complicated ceremony was finally completed.Gordon knew of certain powerful magical rituals, and the combined preparation and execution time could even exceed a year.

The onlookers just held their breaths in silence, watching Gordon perform magic rituals with various complicated gestures, spells, and movements.An illusory light and shadow flashed, and the magic ceremony was completed.

"Ready to go, we crossed the creek and entered the forest, the wolf den is not far away."

"Mysterious mage..." Bernie curled his lips and grabbed his giant ax tightly.Although he said it disapprovingly, he made up his mind in his heart. After returning home, he must warn his elder brother and younger brother. When dealing with Gordon, he must be careful not to offend the other party unintentionally.The mysterious power mastered by the mage is more deadly than muscles and blades.

Gordon didn't know that his unintentional exposure further enhanced his status in the investigative team.Not to mention Xiona and Faliya, Sir Polivich, who is also a mage, and Viscount Angelo, who knew Gordon created an avalanche and helped break through the siege, the other fighters looked at Gordon, Already very different.If it was said that most of them obeyed Gordon only because of Ms. Bishop's orders before, now these people have an intuitive understanding of the strength of the young mage, and they have a little more respect in their words.

Under the guidance of the forest spirit, the footprints of the fluorescent frost wolf appeared on the ground.But only Gordon could see these footprints, so he took the lead and led the crowd to the wolf's lair.

Seeing the pitch-black lair exuding a damp and rancid smell, no one was interested in getting into it.In fact, Gordon didn't intend to get into it either.

The forest is full of black pine trees with a height of 30 meters and a trunk as thick as two or three people. The lush and dense green needles cover the heads of the people and separate the sky.

Today's weather is not too good, the clouds are thick, and there is no sun to be seen, only the sparse light is projected through the gaps between the needles, making the forest even darker.

Viscount Angelo used the unique method of the Platinum Temple to conduct detection near the wolf den, looking for traces of the undead.While others are on guard against the sudden appearance of enemies.

"Brother, look!"

Xiona's crisp shout suddenly sounded, and everyone looked in the direction the girl was pointing at, just in time to see two phantoms speeding through the forest, passing by in a flash.

Gordon blessed his eyes with the "Detect Undead" spell, and clearly captured the two figures showing the green magical aura.This shows that they are indeed undead.

The speed of the other party was very fast, and soon disappeared into the forest, and no one had time to track him down.

"It should be an incorporeal undead like a ghost," Pastor Angelo said.

Gordon saw the appearance of the two undead clearly. The one running ahead had a pair of mutilated flesh wings on its back, which looked like a dragonborn when it was alive.A circle of black mist surrounds its body, giving people a vicious and twisted feeling.As for the one in the back, he looked like a tall and strong man, wearing a wing helmet that was no longer popular now, and the armor on his body was also a very old style.Holding an incorporeal spear and shield, he seemed to be chasing the undead in front of him.

Gordon told everyone what he saw.After hearing this, Polivich suddenly trembled excitedly, almost letting the glasses on the bridge of his nose slip off.

"Captain, I have something to show you."

Although Gordon's "Leader of the Mage Corps" was only a temporary position appointed by Ms. Bishop, a temporary worker with no salary or benefits, but other mages acquiesced to this title.

The house mage, who was immersed in the sea of ​​books all day long, took out a large tome from the dimension bag tremblingly, flipped through a few pages, and then pointed to a colored picture and said to Gordon: "Boss, this is the book that year. Take a look at the restoration map of Mrs. Saiding, is there any similarity with the undead just now?"

Gordon observed carefully and nodded: "The decorative wings on the helmet are all dragon wings, and the skirt armor and breastplate are similar in style. And the most obvious thing is that only the Kingdom of Siding will use this kind of upper and lower wings. A small oval shield. It should be right, that undead should be the warrior of the Siding Kingdom who died in the ancient road."

"Then what is he chasing after?" Xiona asked.

"Probably the enemy who hunted them down. They were mortal enemies in life, and turned into undead after death. I am afraid that because of obsession, the two sides have continued to fight for nearly 1000 years."

After finding out the origin of the undead, everyone scouted the area within a radius of three kilometers. After confirming that there were no high-threat creatures, they sent a message to Ms. Bishop behind.

Tonight, the camp is near the forest. (To be continued..)
