The mage arrives

The underground city group built under the Cold Mist Mountains is very large in scale.The place where Gordon and his party walked a few days ago was only the first floor of the city 30 meters underground.And now Lenas led Gordon to the second floor 60 meters underground.

The female holy warrior found a very secret downward staircase in the fortress where the two rested.If it weren't for the blanket search using various detection spells, Gordon felt that he might not be able to find it.But Lenas just did it.

On the first floor of the underground city, various temples, squares, military camps, and carefully cultivated fields for growing edible fungi were built.And the second floor is the living area of ​​the dark elves.The first-class citizens of the entire underground kingdom lived on this floor, and further down were the residences of other inferior races attached to the dark elves, as well as slaves.

Due to the unique terrain factors, the house layout of the dark elves cannot be as symmetrical and tidy as the ground races—especially humans.These black-skinned donkey ears exert their own unique architectural wisdom, digging out many labyrinth-like complex rooms on rock walls, in caves, and even in huge stalactites hanging from the top.

It's easy to get lost if you don't have clear directions or a great sense of direction and patience.

Fortunately, Reinas was an excellent leader, and the two of them made no detours and went smoothly to their destination.The place they are going to is a place called "Crystal Tower".

The second floor of the dungeon has not been set foot by the Sansheng Baptist Church, so the condition of Gordon's "secrecy" can be considered satisfied.But the terrain here is too complex and fragmented, and it is very difficult to find an open space that can be used to arrange the teleportation magic circle.

Gordon needs an open space of about one hundred square meters.According to Reinas, only the hall inside the Crystal Tower can meet his needs.

But when the two of them walked to a dark elf market two kilometers away from the Crystal Tower.The luck finally ran out.

They were surrounded by a horde of arcane oozes crawling out of the sewer ditches.

"Be careful to protect yourself!" Lenas left a warning, and while chanting divine spells, she rushed over holding Daybreak.After Gordon blessed both of them with buffs and protective spells, he also started to deal with the enemy.

These arcane ooze monsters are extremely resistant to all kinds of energy, Gordon knows it very well.But now that there are only two people, he must also bear part of the firepower output.Otherwise, it would take too much time to kill all the arcane ooze monsters if only Reinas hacked alone.

Fortunately, Gordon reserved a lot of mana and brought enough mana potions, not to mention the unscrupulous indiscriminate bombing.At least you can free your hands and feet to cast spells.

Since it is too inefficient to directly use evocation spells to deal with arcane ooze monsters, Gordon chose a low-level spell that he hadn't used for a long time: a second-level summoned creature.

There is nothing surprising about the common conjuration spell of "Level [-] Summoned Creature".But if it is paired with Gordon's exclusive energy superposition technique, it will be very different.

The last time this technique was used was in the sewers of Clearwater City.He summoned fifteen Formia worker ants at once.Using the crowd tactics to defeat the mage Hao Lin who had defected to the Sansheng Baptist Church.Now, because of the level and attribute improvement.Coupled with the accumulation of long-term persistence in meditation.Gordon's mana is no longer the same.

He used the second-level summoned creature six times in a row, consuming all 260 points of mana.

Twenty-four Formica worker ants appeared on the battlefield.With the addition of a large group of arcane ooze monsters, this dark elf market, which was not spacious in the first place, was almost full, and there was only a small room for both sides to move.

Formians, creatures with telepathic abilities and collective consciousness, are more numerous.The more able to form a cluster advantage.They only needed Gordon to give simple orders, and they began to enter the battle with extremely high efficiency and discipline.And most importantly, Formians are immune to strong acid damage.Just to restrain the acid attack of the arcane ooze monster.

With the cover of these summoned creatures, the Dawn in Renas' hands exerted a more powerful destructive power, continuously cutting each arcane ooze monster in half.And Gordon did not stand idly by after his mana was exhausted, but took out his hand crossbow to provide long-range cover for the female paladin.

After about 15 minutes, all the arcane ooze monsters were finally wiped out, and the sticky sound that made people feel uncomfortable was finally gone.

With a wave of his hand, Gordon summoned all the Formians back to their own realm.Then he took out the light blue mana potion from the dimensional bag and downed it in one gulp.In this battle, a large number of arcane ooze monsters were killed, and the harvest was very rich.After drinking the potion, the mana was recovering quickly, and the number in the experience pool also increased a lot, which made Gordon feel quite happy.

"Lenas, take out the map and see, how far are we from the Crystal Tower?"

The female saint warrior came to Gao Gao, took out the sheepskin map from her arms, and her face changed slightly: "Sorry, it seems that this map is no longer available."

Gordon unfolded the map and found that almost all of it had been destroyed by charred patches.This looks like the result of being corroded by acid.

"It should be during the battle just now that the acid splashed into the gaps in my armor and destroyed the map. I'm sorry, I was too forgetful during the battle." Since the day I set off from Clear Water City, until now, Renas's The performance was perfect, without making any minor mistakes.But now the map is destroyed, which undoubtedly has a great impact on the completion of the task by the two of them.So she said sorry twice.

"It's okay." Gordon patted the girl's shoulder and comforted him, "Even if there is no map, I think we can reach the Crystal Tower smoothly. At that time, the map will be useless."

After Reinas was relieved, the two continued to set off, and soon after, they finally arrived at the Crystal Tower without any danger.

Gordon looked at the huge building in front of him that penetrated the entire first and second floors of the dungeon, and felt that the name "Crystal Tower" seemed a bit subtle.

He originally thought it was a transparent and shining gorgeous tower made entirely of crystals.Who knows, it was actually a huge building dug from the inside by the dark elves using a stalactite mountain with associated amethyst mines.

"Okay, this is not a day trip to the Holy Land of Dark Elf Architecture, it's better to focus on the business." Gordon shook his head, and walked into this huge semi-natural building together with Lenas.

The first floor of the Crystal Tower is a rotunda with a radius of more than 50 meters.For Gordon, its area is more than enough for arranging the teleportation circle.Moreover, on both sides of the tower wall are spiral staircases dug out by the dark elves, leading directly to the first floor of the dungeon.After the main force arrives, it can immediately attack upwards from here.

According to Reinas, the exit of the first floor of the dungeon at the top of the tower is only 100 meters away from the black spider fortress in a straight line, so it can be used to launch a beautiful surprise attack.

Due to disrepair for a long time, the gate of the Crystal Tower has long been damaged, and Gordon and Reinas walked inside easily.But the mage found a circular "manhole cover" with a diameter of five meters in the middle of the hall, which was firmly sealed by an arm-thick iron chain.

"This should be the road leading to the third floor of the dungeon. But why is it so tightly blocked? Is there any secret of the dark elves below?" Various speculations flooded into Gordon's mind.

"If there is still time after completing the task, I will explore it carefully."

After thinking about it, Gordon decided to suppress his curiosity and start arranging the teleportation circle.And Renas began to look around to ensure that Gordon's work went on smoothly.

But when Gordon was about to take the rainbow crystal out of the dimension bag, the weird blood-red mist struck again without warning.

Mysterious energy surged into Gordon's body, his head swelled and his vision began to blur.After seeing Lenas also fainted on the ground, Gordon's eyes went dark, and he also lost his intuition.

In the empty hall at the bottom of the tower, a mage and a paladin lay unconscious on the ground.After a few minutes of this rather weird scene, there was a sudden change.

"Gordon, Mr. Gordon..." After Lenas yelled a few times, she stood up in relief when she found that the other party hadn't responded.She raised her hands, and slid her fingertips over her beautiful long golden hair, brushing away the dust that had stuck to it when she fell to the ground just now.It's a pity that Gordon could only miss this rare and beautiful picture.

After tidying up her armor, the female paladin came to the center of the hall, next to the huge round metal "manhole cover" that had attracted Gordon's attention just now.

She stretched out her hand, tapped her fingertips on the iron chain that locked the "well cover", moved her lips, and began to recite the unknown secret spell.After the spell was completed, a thread-like red light leaked from her fingertips, penetrating into the thick iron chain.

With a loud clang, the seemingly indestructible iron chain broke and slid away.Then the huge "manhole cover" was automatically lifted, revealing a downward slope channel.

Then, Reynas returned to the unconscious Gordon and fought the mage.Although she doesn't look like a strong female figure, she is very strong. She is worthy of being an elite paladin. She is carrying a grown man on her shoulders, but she still walks steadily, walking without rushing or slowing down.

At the end of the ramp passage, a red light shines.Relying on the guidance of this light, Lenas carried Gordon forward in the passage.

Finally, she arrived at her destination - located below the Crystal Tower, in a secret hall on the third floor of the dungeon.

"Ma'am, I brought him." Reynas said to the empty hall. (To be continued..)
