The mage arrives

Jude agrees with Reynas.Because the speed of progress these days is very fast, and there is no trouble of delaying time, there is still plenty of time left for them.For the upcoming critical moment, it is really necessary to recharge your batteries.

Today it was Ruth's turn to set up the magic security device, so Gordon got into his Leomond shelter after eating.He needed a quiet environment to think about the reasons for these weird things in the dungeon.

The conversation with Reinas just now made Gordon worry about it.Although the female paladin's speculation was not unreasonable, he always felt that something was wrong - men also have a sixth sense.

Thanks to his excellent intelligence attributes, Gordon has a memory far beyond that of ordinary people.He dug out all the bits and pieces from the day he entered the dungeon from his mind, and then sorted them out slowly.

Every flower and grass, every abandoned building, every dilapidated sculpture is spared.

Finally, Gordon remembered something.

Whenever the dark elves are mentioned, people will always think of the crazy god Rose, the Spider Queen.Because the relationship between the two is too close, people form inertial thinking.

During the trip these days, the team passed by three dark elf temples.Gordon glanced at it briefly at that time, only admiring the lifelike sculptures on the temple square and the gorgeous murals on the walls.But he ignored a fact at the time: In these temples, there is not even a statue or painting or abstract symbol about a spider.

That is to say, the group of dark elves who established the kingdom underground in the Cold Mist Mountains were not followers of the Spider Queen Rose.

Most dark elves worship either Rose, the spider goddess, or an evil lesser deity in Rose's alignment, such as Selvetarm, the patron saint of male dark elf warriors.However, there are also some kind-hearted dark elves who are eager to return to the surface.Believe in the dark maiden Eilistraee.

But Gordon was sure that the dark elves who used to live here were not a minority who believed in the dark girl Eilistraee.Because if this is the case, it is impossible for them to go to war with the Freyton Empire.The Platinum Temple is the state religion of Freidon, and the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut and the Dark Maiden Eilistraee belong to the good camp.In order to fight against evil gods like Rose, followers of Bahamut are absolutely happy to cooperate with followers of Eilistraee.

In addition to the traditional dark elf gods such as Rose the Spider Queen and the Dark Maiden Eilistraee, there were also some dark elf communities that believed in other gods in history.

Gordon carefully recalled the statues of the gods enshrined in the abandoned temple.

It was a beautiful woman without a trace - which was beside the point, since the dark elves worshiped most female deities.All appear in a similar form.The biggest feature of that god statue is its expression: its eyes are sharp and its expression is cold, as if there is infinite anger and killing intent in its chest.

Moreover, she held a bloody dagger in her hand.

Gordon felt that the face of the goddess was somewhat familiar.But I can't remember seeing it in that book.Gods, especially goddesses, after all.They all like to play some ever-changing little tricks.In front of different believers, he appears in different images.In history, the different gods recorded in the books of many races or countries are actually the same one.It is also because of the avatar game played by those evil gods that it has brought a lot of trouble to the research work of theologians.

Gordon felt that the problem was likely to be the gods that the former residents believed in.

Two hours after lunch, Gordon left his cabin.He opened the eyes of truth and warning again.It was found that the blood-red mist was thicker.

This time, Gordon could finally feel the existence of this blood-red thick fog.It has a fishy, ​​salty, blood-like taste, and it's even warm.Let Gordon feel more and more soaked in the hot spring.The blood in his body seemed to be singing happily, and Gordon felt waves of power pouring into his body, making him feel better than ever.

Suddenly, he felt movement in his dimensional bag.

Gordon opened the bag, checked it, and found the thing that he had been neglecting and left in the corner.

In the town of Andolli in the Cold Mist Mountains, the day when the demon army fell from the sky.Before Gordon left the town, he once had a battle with Longo Ritter and Sarando Ritter and his son.

After killing the enemy, he got a destiny ring whose purpose is still unknown, and a strange heart.

Longo Ritter relied on that heart to transform into a blood demon, which caused a lot of trouble for Gordon.Gordon later found a drop of red liquid surrounded by a silver ball inside the heart.At that time, the drop of liquid even wanted to actively integrate into his body.Out of prudent considerations, Gordon didn't touch the thing, and kept putting it in the dimensional bag to eat ashes.

Unexpectedly, now, the silver ball containing the drop of red liquid is vibrating at an extremely fast frequency, as if resonating with some kind of energy.

Gordon could only attribute this unusual phenomenon to the increasingly dense bloody mist.

Without opening the Eye of Truth and Warning, Gordon could feel the presence of the unusual arcane energy in the blood-colored mist, and everyone else was no exception.

The three mages Ruth, Jiaxi and Yashna hurried to Gordon.

"Mr. Gordon, I... we felt a particularly strange arcane energy..." Yashina's face was pale, and sweat was constantly breaking out on her forehead, as if she was struggling against some powerful force.

The situation of the other two mages is similar.

"Can you be more specific?"

Jiaxi said: "This kind of energy is very powerful, but it's also very depressing, making people feel like they can't breathe."

The girl who hadn't spoken to Gordon since entering the dungeon made an exception this time, and it seemed that the situation was indeed serious.

Ruth nodded aside.Perhaps in order not to lose the wind in front of Gordon, he has always been very calm.

Gordon asked the others again.The three priests of the Temple of Dawn also said that they seemed to feel a very intense and irritable energy.The soldiers said that they did feel a very uncomfortable feeling, but they couldn't tell exactly what it was.

The female paladin was the only one among them who was not affected in any way.

Now, Gordon can be sure that those blood-red mist are definitely not hallucinations caused by his mental state problems, but actually exist.He summed it up and found that everyone's situation in the fog was different.

Soldiers without arcane talent and not sensitive enough to energy have the weakest reaction to the red mist, and only feel slight discomfort symptoms such as head swelling and tinnitus.Priests who draw power from their gods can feel certain characteristics of the blood-red mist.And the ones who reacted the most were the three mages who had to deal with arcane energy every day.

In addition, there are Gordon and Reinas.The latter still acted like an insulator and did not feel any discomfort.The former, however, was a freak, who actually felt that he was quite comfortable in the blood-red mist, and the arcane power he had mastered had increased.

It's so weird.

Just when Gordon was trying to sort out all the information and came up with a more reasonable result, a disgusting voice that he only heard in the morning came from a distance again.

The sticky, greasy, dense and continuous wriggling sound is really impressive.

"The ooze monster is coming again, everyone prepare to fight!" Jude, the captain, immediately gave an order.

Although everyone's mental state is more or less a little bit problematic, it does not affect them to fight or complete the final task.

With the experience of dealing with the arcane ooze monster last time, this time the four mages were arranged in the center of the camp and were firmly protected - although Gordon did not need this kind of protection.

However, apart from Gordon, the other three probably lost most of their fighting power under the influence of the bloody red mist.

A large dark green translucent mud ball appeared in the field of vision.While Gordon cursed the dark elf mage who conducted random magic experiments and created so many troublesome creatures, he blessed his companions with various buff spells.

When Antonov swung the terrifying two-handed giant sword and split an arcane ooze the size of a double bed, Gordon's keen hearing caught another sound.

Mixed with countless "guji guji" wriggling sounds, there were hurried footsteps accompanied by eager shouts, coming from afar.

It was the lingua franca with a Freton accent.

"Someone is coming, maybe it's the group of people who entered the dungeon before us!"

Hearing Gordon's reminder, Antonov swung his sword even harder.No one knows whether those uninvited guests are enemies or friends, and what is the purpose of entering the dungeon.In order to avoid the worst-case scenario - being attacked from both sides, these nasty arcane ooze monsters must be cleaned up as soon as possible.

But there are too many monsters.

Like a colorful translucent mudslide, more than half of the group of ooze monsters was finally wiped out, and at this time, another team also appeared within the sight of everyone.

The two heavy armored warriors in the lead kept smashing the arcane ooze monsters into bulk jelly with the spiked shields in their hands.Behind the two heavy steamrollers, several Ferretton-style warriors guarded the important figure in the middle with long swords and shields in their hands.Among them are several priests, who are constantly using holy emblems to cast divine spells to assist the warriors in combat.At the end of the line are the archers who hold repeated crossbows and use stormy crossbow bolts to cut off the back road.

Such a team with reasonable occupations, well-trained, and tacit cooperation has extremely strong combat effectiveness.And in terms of the number of people, it was several times more than Gordon's team performing special missions. (To be continued..)
