The mage arrives

"Lovely Miss Lenas, can you tell me, who is the lady you are talking about?"

A man's voice suddenly sounded behind Lenas.The voice is calm, the words are clear, with a unique calmness.Renas had heard this voice many times, it came from the mage who traveled with her and fought side by side - Gordon Freeman.

Renas turned around, and found that Gordon Freeman, who had been laid flat on the ground by her and was unconscious, was standing there as if nothing had happened, looking at her.

Even in the face of powerful and evil, the female holy warrior, who remained calm, also changed color on her beautiful and heroic face.

"Surprised?" Gordon held the Nesser staff in his hand. Although his tone was relaxed, his hand did not stop for a moment.He tore up the magic scrolls one by one, and blessed himself with various spells, as if facing an enemy.

"You misunderstood, Mr. Gordon." Renas sighed and threw Li Xiao on the ground, "I have no hostility towards you."

Gordon felt very strange.As Meridia's paladin, Reinas should regard the dawn bestowed by the goddess as a treasure, and keep the sword in her hand, and now she just throws it on the ground so casually?Moreover, the holy light of dawn that naturally emanated from the sword also disappeared. At this time, the divine sword was dim, just like Fan Tie.

Lenas took a few steps back.This action reassured Gordon a little.Because the distance between the two sides is only about 20 meters, with the strength of a paladin, it only takes a second to get close.The distance between the two of them can also make a mage like Gordon breathe a little easier.

But Gordon dared not let his guard down entirely.Because from entering the dungeon, everything that happened was too weird.

"Mr. Gordon, I think we should talk about it," Reynas said.

"Talk? Good. A sincere and in-depth conversation can indeed clear up misunderstandings." Gordon nodded.Although Renas' actions are weird.But there was not much hostility, so Gordon felt that the two sides had not yet reached the point where they needed to fight each other.In addition, he also really wanted to know what was hidden behind these things that happened in the dungeon.

"Thank you." Renas breathed a sigh of relief.After all, if she really tried to tear her face apart, she would not be 100% sure that she would be able to defeat Gordon.And the lady didn't allow her and Gordon to kill each other.

"Mr. Gordon, since when did you find out that I have a problem?" Renas asked.Gordon had many questions in his mind, and so did she.

"Remember the conversation I had with you after I discovered the blood-red mist for the first time?"

Lenas nodded slightly: "I remember."

"You denied the existence of the blood-red mist, and also asserted that it was because of my mental state. It was a misjudgment. This made me doubt."

"I think my reasoning is logical, don't you just suspect it out of thin air?"

"No, Renas. Your speculation is logical, but it doesn't fit your personality." Gordon shook his index finger to express his denial.

"character?"

"Yes." Gordon continued. "On weekdays, your impression is that you are a beautiful, heroic, calm, and pious Meridian paladin. Your interaction with the whole world is introverted. I have observed you for a long time, so I know, Unless you encounter a necessary situation, you will not take the initiative. Because you have entered the Temple of Dawn since you were a child, you have already developed the habit of following the guidance of Ms. Meridia spiritually. In life, you abide by the rules of the church .In that conversation, you disagreed with my judgment, which is normal. But you took the initiative to point out that there is a problem with my mental state. You even suggested that I take a good rest, which is very strange."

"You really know me very well, Mr. Gordon..." Reinas said leisurely, with the corners of her lips upturned, revealing a charming smile - in Gordon's impression, a female saint warrior would not show such a smile expression.

"However, based on this, have you confirmed the guess in your heart?"

"Of course it's not that simple." Gordon continued, "Do you still remember the night when the team was separated? I saw you preparing to pray."

"Oh, it's really my fault. I should have known earlier that you would be suspicious at that time."

"Meridia's believers will never pray at midnight, let alone turn their backs on the divine sword bestowed by the goddess. I could see at that time that there is a secret hidden in you, Miss Paladin. However, due to many and the facts Contradictions, so I still have my doubts. You can use the magic of the lawful good camp, and the dawn is blooming in your hands with genuine morning light. These facts show that you are indeed a paladin of the Temple of Dawn. So look After you prayed in the middle of the night, I just suspected, but didn't go into it."

Gordon glanced at the lightless dawn at Renas' feet, and said, "But now, I doubt your identity as a Meridian paladin."

"This is the second suspicious point you revealed. The third time was after the battle at the Dark Elf Market. You took out the acid-corroded map."

Renas was protected by divine magic during the battle, and her combat power was very impressive. In addition, after the battle, there was no trace of acid erosion on the armor, so Gordon concluded that she damaged the map on purpose.

The two maps in the team are kept by Jude and Reinas respectively.Out of trust in his teammates, Gordon never intervened in the marching and leading the way, and deliberately checked the contents on the map.It's just that due to the strong memory brought by the high intelligence attribute, he remembered a lot of content on the map in a few quick glances.

When descending from the satellite fortress to the second floor of the dungeon, Gordon discovered that Renas did not follow the instructions on the map, but led the way on her own initiative.He didn't point it out, but his doubts about the female saint warrior became more certain in his heart.

The mage cleared his throat and continued: "It is because of many doubts in my heart that I was prepared after the first time I lost consciousness due to the attack of the blood-red mist. You know, the saint fighter will not be the same Moves defeated twice."

Although she didn't know what the profession of a holy warrior was or whether it was related to a holy warrior, Reinas still didn't speak, and waited quietly for Gordon to say the following.

"Because I found that every time the arcane ooze monster appeared, it was a sign of the appearance of the blood-red mist, so after encountering the arcane ooze attack in the dark elf market again, I took advantage of your inattention, He drank a bottle of "Steel Wall of Mind" magic potion.

This is a bottle of seven-ring magic potion, which can protect the consciousness and brain from various mental shocks and energy effects.This is a life-saving item given to Gordon by Grand Duke Antaello, with a market price of 2000 gold coins.If it was not a last resort, Gordon would not drink this potion that was hundreds of times more expensive than its weight in gold.

With the protection of the potion, Gordon did not lose consciousness when he encountered the blood-red mist in the Crystal Tower.He just pretended to faint after seeing Lenas fell to the ground.

Then, as Gordon expected, Reynas also pretended to faint.Then he just put his tricks at the mercy of Reinas.

"Okay, I'm done. Now it's your turn, Miss Paladin...or should I say, former Miss Paladin."

"I think you misunderstand, Mr. Gordon."

"what……"

Before Gordon finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground tremble under his feet.The entire crystal tower was shaking non-stop, making rumbling noises.Even the surrounding stone walls began to emit a faint red light...

………………

Zantaba Tyhurst sat on a gorgeous high-backed chair in the style of a dark elf.At this moment, his mood was as cold as the metal chair back.

As the fourth seat of the Twelve Stones of the Trinity Baptist Church, Zantaba was responsible for the most critical part of this task in Freydon.He wanted to ensure that the giant magic circle built with the three Sin Orbs as its core could function smoothly, so as to assist the tundra orc army led by Ugru Iron Claw to launch an offensive against Freyton this winter.

It's been a while since he got the three Sin Orbs.However, due to the obstruction of that damned mage named Gordon Freeman, the two Sin Orbs were far from being able to activate the magic circle.So he had to use some auxiliary means to ensure the opening of the magic circle.

And this method is just below the black spider fortress where Zantaba is now.

The reason why the Three Saints Baptist Church chose this dungeon abandoned by the dark elves as the stronghold for arranging the magic circle is because it is the closest and most secret large hideout to the Great Wall of Anduin, and because it is in the black spider fortress. Below, there is a huge building called "Crystal Tower", which can make up for the part of the energy that the Sin Orb lacks for the magic circle.

The Crystal Tower is a building built by the former ruler of the underground dark elf kingdom.The king was a crazy and powerful mage. In order to provide stable arcane energy for his various spell experiments, he converted the entire amethyst-rich stalactite mine into a huge energy-gathering device.

He sealed an artifact at the bottom of the giant tower and used it as an energy core.And the stalactite tower wall mixed with amethyst is just the best medium to transmit the energy of the artifact.

Zantaba has neither the ability nor the time to break the restriction set by the Dark Elf King and obtain that artifact.However, he can still use this crystal tower to supply energy for the Sin Orb Array.

However, due to the long history, the entire crystal tower has been damaged in many places, causing the entire energy supply system to fail frequently.And every time something goes wrong, a blood-red mist will spread out from the bottom of the crystal tower.

Because of the influence of this weird mist, he had already lost fourteen of his subordinates—all were mentally disturbed and killed each other. (To be continued..)
