The mage arrives

The fourth night after entering the dungeon.

Although it is difficult to distinguish between day and night underground, everyone still maintains a regular work and rest time - especially the few mages.

Gordon closed the book which had been obtained from the Archbishop Cyprus.The system shows that his current reading progress is only 16%, and it will take a considerable amount of time and energy to master the "Arkhosian Quick Casting" feat recorded in the book.

The mage stretched his waist, put the book into the dimension bag, summoned Leomeng Sanctuary, and prepared to have a good sleep.According to the map, they were about a day away from their final destination.During today's journey, Dai Lite and his Golden Dragon Sword Guard have spotted the scouts of the Sansheng Baptist Church several times.This shows that they have entered the enemy's outer defense circle.

At such a time, one had to work hard to ensure the smooth progress of the entire task.

This dungeon buried at the foot of the Cold Mist Mountains, to be precise, should be an underground city network built by dark elves.There are a total of five cities with a size of 3 people, sixteen fortresses, and countless outposts, forming the underground kingdom that the dark elves expanded on the ruins of the sun elf empire.

However, with the rise of the Platinum Empire, Rose's followers were gradually lost, so they moved deeper underground, using this vast residential area as a buffer zone for the two major forces.

According to intelligence, the stronghold of the Sansheng Baptist Church is at the northernmost end of the entire underground city network, in a fortress named "Black Spider".From there to the ground, it is the easternmost end of Anduin's Great Wall.

After sorting out the action plan in his mind again, Gordon was about to undress and go to bed when he found someone calling him outside.

"Gordon, can I come in?" Lenas said.

Although I don't know what's wrong with the female paladin so late, but I was able to chat with a beautiful lady before going to bed.not bad.He lifted the sanctuary's restrictions and let the other party in.

Renas was wearing a simple white shirt and leather pants at this time, and she looked as if she was about to fall asleep.As soon as she came in, she went straight to the topic: "Gordon, have you noticed that some people in the team are not in the right mental state these days?"

It seems that the paladins have also discovered this problem.

"I'm going to take some time to discuss this matter with you." Gordon nodded.

"Did you find the reason? And neither of us was affected, why?"

Gordon has also been thinking about this question.He once believed that everyone was insane because of the excessive stress and psychological imbalance of the team members due to staying in the dark and gloomy underground environment for a long time.But if you think about it carefully, it's impossible.Except Russ, Jiaxi, and Yashna who are young.Except for mages who have no adventure experience, everyone else is an experienced and determined adventurer.In particular, the Golden Dragon Sword Guards are all elite fighters who have undergone will training and will not be timid even in the face of an evil army like a tide.And how could he become so obsessed with darkness?

Considering the environment they are in, it is the abandoned underground city of the dark elves.So Gordon thinks the cause of this abnormality.It is very likely that it is the sequelae left over from some crazy magic experiments conducted by those black-skinned lunatics back then.

"You mean, maybe a certain person, or a group of dark elf mages did a crazy spell experiment, and the residual arcane energy that can affect the thinking of creatures still exists in the dungeon. Jude, Antonov, etc. People. Is it because of the influence of this kind of arcane energy that you become so neurotic?" After listening to Gordon's explanation, Reinas asked.

"That's right. That's the most plausible explanation I think."

The female holy warrior asked: "Then why are you and I not affected?"

"There may be many reasons. You can only ask yourself." Gordon laughed.

Why didn't I become the same as Jude and others?Maybe it's because the platinum seal that still can't be fully controlled protects him; maybe it's simply because he is a time traveler.The physique is different from that of the aborigines; or his intelligence attribute is high enough to exempt from the influence of that mysterious energy.

As for Reinas, as a paladin, she is favored by Madam Dawn, so maybe she has some kind of ability to be immune to mental interference.

There are too many possibilities, and Gordon can't make an accurate judgment until he has enough information.

Moreover, even with this speculation, Gordon even used all means, but he still couldn't find the existence of this weird "arcane energy".

Everything is hidden behind the fog.

After some discussion, Reinas said good night, and left Gordon's magically created cabin, leaving a faint scent of lilies in the air.

"Hidden under the armor is also a heart that loves beauties and children..." Gordon sniffled.

Early the next morning, Gordon walked out of Leomont's shelter.Although there is no natural light, under the light of the fire, the camp is still busy in the morning.In this noisy scene, the female paladin in the far corner immediately caught Gordon's attention.

Facing the east, Renas stood half-kneeling, and the saber "Dawn" in front of her was deeply inserted into the soil.

She cupped her hands on her forehead, her lips twitching slightly.Although she couldn't see the face of the female paladin, Gordon believed that her expression must be holy and pure.

For some reason, perhaps infected by the picture-scroll-like scene in front of him, Gordon chanted a mantra softly, summoned a white lighting ball, and then controlled it to slowly rise like a small sun.

The pure arcane light source added a pale white outline to the gentle curve of the female paladin's back.

Gordon had to admit that although Renas's heroic appearance in the helmet and armor was great, wearing a shirt and leather pants like this now, revealing the soft side of women, is also picturesque.

"Hey, you're very smart, you know it's dark and you can't see clearly, so you specially lit up a lighting ball." Antonov came over at some point and winked at Gordon.

"I just think it's not good for the followers of Ms. Dawn to pray in the dark, so I just provide some small help." Gordon explained.

Antonov smiled and patted Gordon on the shoulder: "Haha, no need to explain, everyone is a man, I understand. There are quite a few women in the followers of Ms. Chenxi. You should go to the port of Doron in the south. There is The headquarters of Dawn Church. The prayer gathering of female believers every morning is a great beauty."

Gordon knew that if the conversation with Antonov continued, it would definitely turn into a topic like "Lenas is a wonderful woman, young man, if you are brave enough to pursue love, I will support you spiritually".So he wisely chose to perfunctory Antonov, and then went to find Jude.

"Jude, about today's arrangement..."

The conversation between Gordon and Battle Priest Xiguang hadn't officially started when the magic alarms placed around the camp suddenly sounded sharply.

"There are enemies, prepare to fight!" After Jude finished speaking, he picked up his shield and flail.

The surrounding team members also swiftly picked up their weapons, ready to fight.After walking in this dark dungeon for four days, the boring and depressing feeling made people feel suffocated.Enemies suddenly appeared now, and instead of being nervous, they were even a little excited.

It's also good as a refreshment during a trip.

Gordon took out the Nether staff, and while buffing himself with buff spells, he heard the sound of gastrointestinal motility coming from around him. It was sticky and wet, which made people get goosebumps.

"Oh, it's so ugly!" Yashna, who was the first to see the invading creature, let out a coquettish cry of disgust.

No wonder the little girl made such a fuss.Because the ooze monster is really not a pleasing appearance.

These colorful, gel-like creatures squirm and surround them from all directions.While making disgusting noises, they morph tentacles from their bodies, which are used to lash enemies from a distance.

First use the tentacles that can grow from any part of the body to entangle the target, then rush over, wrap the target completely, and then strangle it to death.This is how oozes generally fight.If it is some relatively powerful ooze monster, it can also emit strong acid liquid.

If it is in some games that only adults can touch, beautiful girls encounter this kind of creature that can spit corrosive liquid and whose body can change ever-changing, it will definitely trigger some favorite plots.But the reality is not so beautiful. If you want to not be killed by these annoying guys, you have to fight with all your strength.

"careful!"

Gordon shouted, pulled Yashna to his side, and then controlled the activation shield to block the green acid sprayed by the two ooze monsters.

He was very fortunate that the surface of the activation shield was made of pure gold. If it were ordinary steel, it would probably be corroded and pitted.

"Don't be distracted, focus on casting spells."

"But, but Mr. Gordon, I don't know what spell to use!" Yashna almost cried.

Only now did she realize that there was a huge difference between books and training, and actual combat.She couldn't concentrate on casting spells when she thought of being surrounded by those disgusting creatures that were always wriggling and making "guji guji" noises.And now in this situation, she doesn't even know what countermeasures she should take.

Apply buff spells to your fighters?Weaken the fighting power of the slime monster?Restrict the movement of the ooze to give teammates a chance to kill?

The little girl who is only 12 years old has completely messed up.

"Blast it hard with a fireball." Gordon pointed to the left and gave a simple and clear order.

Dai Lite led the Golden Dragon Sword Guard to stabilize the front, and the trio from the Temple of Dawn also stopped the ooze monster on the right.Behind the camp is a small stream and dense stalactite forest, the terrain is complex, and the enemy is the least.

After Gordon pointed out a clear target and blessed her with an energy protection, the little girl finally calmed down and chanted her first incantation after leaving Clearwater City. (To be continued..)
