The mage arrives

Although Gordon has made the best preparations for this adventure on Mount Vesula, accidents still catch people off guard.

After he and Sigrid spent a little more than two days, leaving the green zone and entering the yellow zone, the trouble arrived as scheduled, as if it had been agreed.

At that time, Gordon opened his eyes of truth and warning, and carefully sorted out the magical spiritual lines one after another in front of him, and cut off all the spiritual lines and the connected spell marks, successfully dispelling one A spell trap lying across the passage ahead.

When in the green zone, most of the traps and traps have already been ruled out by adventurers.Even if they are not excluded, many adventurers who yearn for wealth and treasure will continue to use their bodies to break the ancient death traps one after another.

With the help of these intrepid adventurers, Gordon and Sigrid encountered no trouble during the initial journey.This also shows that Gordon's "Adventurer Preferential Act" has indeed worked.

But such good things became less and less after the two entered the yellow zone.After all, most adventurers still don't have the strength to go deep into the yellow zone to explore.Without the help of those very dedicated humanoid minesweepers, Gordon's daily workload has also increased.

In this small two-person team, although Sigrid's most important mission is the "humanoid key storage", she also provides Gordon with a lot of help.Having an excellent knight by his side can reassure a mage like Gordon a lot.And when he was doing meditation and other arcane-related work, he was guarded by Sigrid.It can also be more at ease.

Of course, on the lonely and dangerous adventure, there is a beautiful and gentle girl by her side.It's more of a joyful thing.

However, although Sigrid contributed a lot, the most arduous and unnegligible work on the adventure path—exploration and vigilance—can only be done by Gordon alone.

Because there are no rogues in the team, naturally they can only rely on Gordon's spells to find the way, discover traps, and avoid monsters.Moreover, the ruins of Mount Vesula are the floating city where the famous magic emperor Asa Augustus once lived in the famous Netherdulan magic empire.The traps that adventurers face.Most are arcane related.Simple mechanical traps are very rare.

Therefore, ordinary rogues can play a very limited role in this environment.Only mages who have mastered enough divination school detection spells.Or a high-level rogue who has learned arcane arts—such as the arcane shadow thief Hernandez under Gordon's command—can be competent for the exploration of the ruins of Mount Vesula.

However, whether it is a mage who is proficient in detecting spells, or a high-level rogue who has mastered arcane arts, it is not something that ordinary adventurer teams can have.

This is another reason for the slow progress of adventurers exploring the mountain.

Just as Gordon disarmed a complex spell trap.He was about to take Sigrid and hand it over.When wiping the sweat off her face with the handkerchief containing the girl's body fragrance and temperature, an earthquake struck suddenly.

When taking risks in this kind of underground complex, the most feared accident is an earthquake.

Adventurers are very likely to be buried in landslides caused by earthquakes and never see the light of day.And even if the threat of death is escaped, the terrain is likely to change due to the earthquake, thus disorienting.Lost the original way forward.

Fortunately, whether the adventure route will be changed due to the earthquake is irrelevant.At least Gordon had already prepared contingency plans in the event of an earthquake.

If you are adventuring at sea, you must be prepared to encounter storms, and if you are adventuring in desert areas, you must be prepared to encounter sandstorms.In the same way, since you have entered the dark mountain, you must at least ensure that you can survive even if the mountain shakes and the whole world collapses.

Gordon first blessed himself and Sigrid with a "protective arrow".The small rocks that are thrown down quickly can also be regarded as a type of long-range weapon, so this spell can effectively protect two people.

Immediately afterwards, he blessed the female knight with a levitation spell, and then activated the spell on the eagle feather boots himself.In this way, even if the ceiling under their feet collapses, the two of them will not fall down.

However, this measure does not seem to be able to fully cope with the dangers posed by the earthquake.Before Gordon, who was casting spells continuously, had time to take a breath, a huge stone with an area of ​​more than ten square meters and a weight of more than ten tons was slammed down on top of his head.

The place where the two people are located is a one-story building similar to a shrine.Because they are upside down, they are stepping on the ceiling while their heads are on the ground.

The architects of the Magic Empire are obviously very dedicated. They built a thick and solid foundation for this building, so that it can stand upright under the tempering of wars, disasters, and years.But now, the huge and solid one-piece foundation has brought big troubles to Gordon and Sigrid.

Watching the whistling overhead, Gordon rolled up the boulder under the strong wind, quickly took out an architect's staff from the dimension bag, and then cast three stone-to-clay spells on the boulder above his head.

"Perhaps I am the mage who has developed the most use of the architect's staff in the main material world." Gordon said to himself.

The boulder, which could smash people into meat paste, turned into a huge amount of loose mud under the effect of arcane magic, like a burst of brown rain, drowning Gordon and Sigrid.

However, due to the protection of the protective arrows, the two of them did not become clay figurines and were still clean.

However, the ceiling under their feet was destroyed by the weight of the soil and the dual effects of the earthquake, and Gordon and Sigrid also lost their footing.They had to descend while avoiding the falling stones.

Fortunately, the earthquake didn't last long. After Gordon and the Eladrin knight stepped on the solid ground again, the surrounding vibration stopped.

"Damn it, damn it! This cursed mountain spirit!"

"It's fucking unlucky to encounter an earthquake."

"You should be lucky not to be smashed into meat paste by stones. Just now I saw with my own eyes two unlucky ghosts of the Balhan Swordsmen. They were crushed to death by a huge pillar that can only be embraced by three people..."

"Wouldn't that be nice? Why do those bastards always show off their steel plate armor? These guys are probably fresh canned meat sauce by now!"

Gordon suddenly heard voices coming from around him.There are those who curse, those who are grateful, and those who have lingering fears.There are also schadenfreudes.

He hurriedly used the light technique to illuminate the surrounding environment.

After the collapse and chaos caused by the earthquake just now, the two of them came to an extremely empty area, which was as large as more than ten standard football fields, and the distance between their feet and their heads was more than 200 meters.The place where Gordon and Sigrid are located is just a small corner of this area, and the darkness in the distance is hazy.There seems to be some huge object, but I can't see it clearly.

Seeing Gordon's actions, other adventurers also used their own lighting methods.Look around and marvel at the wide open surroundings.

After all, before, adventurers were still walking through the cramped, labyrinth-like ruins.Now the eyes are suddenly clear.Naturally, even the mood will be greatly changed.

"There is no mark on the map. It seems that because of this earthquake, we discovered a new area..." After confirming that he was in a safe place, Gordon let out a sigh of relief, "Sigrid, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did he realize that the female knight hadn't said a word since just now.At this point she bowed her head.Standing beside Gordon trembling slightly, his hands were tightly grasping the mage's robe.It seems that he dare not let go for a moment.

Reminiscent of what Sigrid had told him before about her discomfort with the environment of Mount Vesula, Gordon immediately understood her current situation.

Some people are born with a fear of spiders, and some people are born with a fear of thunder.And this Elling girl was originally not used to the dark and narrow underground environment surrounded by rocks, and now she has experienced an earthquake, which must be due to her psychologically very fragile period.

As a gentleman, Gordon naturally couldn't sit idly by.

He pulled Sigrid into his arms - he had already used this action on many girls, so it was done in one go.

Before Miss Yaling could react, she was wrapped in a reassuring masculine breath.Her trembling and chaotic emotions brought about by the environment were gradually calmed down.

"Okay, it's okay, everything is over..."

When Gordon comforted Sigrid with soft words while stroking Sigrid's blue hair with his hands, the latter's heart was gradually filled with another emotion.

Aside from that experience in the underground laboratory, this time was the closest contact between Sigrid and Gordon.The female knight found that she didn't reject the fact that she was held in the arms of a man, and she didn't even want to think about it, she just wanted to immerse herself in this delicate atmosphere where there were only two people.

If it wasn't for the slightly obstructive Phoenix armor, Gordon would probably be able to clearly feel the warmth and softness of the girl's body, as well as the faster and faster heartbeat.

Just when Gordon was admiring Sigrid's pointy ears beating constantly due to nervousness and shyness, and gradually changing from white to crimson, someone interrupted this beautiful moment and dragged both of them into the cold Be realistic.

"Mr. Master, I want you and your lover to find a quiet place to be tender after the environment is really confirmed to be safe. Now, we must unite to get out of this predicament."

The man who interrupted Gordon with a deep male voice was a man with a large round shield on his back and a long sword on his waist.He has a thick and neat brown beard, some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, a resolute facial contour coupled with a weather-beaten demeanor, making people feel that he is a reliable big brother man.

Gordon could only let go of his hand with a little regret, and let Sigrid stand behind him.Although according to his profession, this knight should stand in front of the mage at any time.But at this time, it's better for Miss Yaling to calm down quietly by herself.

Gordon glanced at the bearded man, and found that the man was carrying a large shield, which was very similar to a comic book superhero on Earth, and also similar to some kind of very long-lived green reptile.

So he gave play to his wicked spirit and quietly nicknamed the bearded man "Captain Turtle".

"Sir, what do you mean by 'dilemma'?"

"You can take a look for yourself." After the captain tortoise finished speaking, he whistled.A team of adventurers traveling with him.A female mage with a hot figure and short red curly hair threw a ball of light into the darkness in the distance.

This should be some kind of improved lighting technique with stronger lighting distance and range than ordinary light technique.Although it's just a small low-level evocation spell.However, mages who master improved spells or have original spells are generally not ordinary people.

So Gordon took a high look at the female mage.

Gordon just confirmed the general situation of the surrounding environment, and went to pick up girls—oh no, it should be to comfort a helpless girl who has suffered psychological trauma.He did not further investigate the situation in the distance of this huge space.But now, under the illumination of the female mage's ball of light, he could clearly see the distant scene.

About 1000 meters away from this group of adventurers in the corner.There are countless stones, large and small, piled up in all directions.The surfaces of these stones have been processed and polished, and are also engraved with exquisite patterns.Moreover, many stone blocks have been carved into human body parts such as hands, feet, heads, etc., which seem to be some kind of huge humanoid sculptures.

If only a bunch of huge stone sculptures that have been damaged.That's easy to say.But the red-haired female mage accompanying Captain Turtle obviously didn't think so.

After Gordon saw the situation in the distance, the red-haired female mage took over Captain Turtle's words, using her moist and seductive thick lips.He said a shocking sentence: "Everyone. We are already in the dead zone."

Her words naturally aroused great dissatisfaction among the other adventurers.

Just kidding, everyone managed to survive the earthquake, they were not buried alive, and they were not smashed into meat paste. Who would believe you, a woman, who suddenly made a sensational and incomprehensible speech.

After a wave of abuse such as "Smelly woman, don't play tricks, or you'll always gag your mouth with a big eagle".The female mage rarely got angry, but calmly said to Gordon: "This mage seems to be a smart person. I think you should have discovered our current situation."

Gordon nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, those damaged stone sculptures are actually Titan Golems made by the Netherdulan Magic Empire. And they are the most powerful emperor-level statues. The Titan Golem. And the vast space we are in now is the factory where the Titan Golem was manufactured back then."

Titan golems and flying warships were the two elite weapons used by the magic empire to conquer the main material world.Titan golems are divided into four levels according to their size: knight, general, lord, and emperor.

The space where many adventurers are now has a height of 200 meters.The Nesser architects who built the Floating Void City for the Elemental Emperor obviously couldn't be mediocre people who wasted space at will, so this factory is definitely not used to produce knight-level titan golems with a height of 20 meters.The war machine once manufactured here could only be a 100-meter-tall imperial-level Titan Golem—a strategic weapon capable of conquering a small country.

"Even if this is the manufacturing factory of some powerful Titan golem, so what? It has been more than 1000 years, can the pile of broken stones still come alive and pose a threat to us?"

A tall, thin man with a long gun on his back said.He was one of the adventurers who insulted the red-haired mage with foul language just now.

"It's not just a pile of broken stones." The red-haired female mage pointed to the disintegrated magic empire super weapon in the distance, "I can sense that there are still very active arcane energy reactions in the bodies of those titan golems. ...I can tell you clearly that although the masters controlling these golems are no longer there, they will still carry out fixed defense orders. We are in the eyes of those golems, and we are intruders who broke into a secret place like the Titan Golem Factory .As long as adventurers enter the attack range, they will attack without hesitation!"

Not only the distinctive lighting spell just now, this female mage even knows better than Gordon about the Titan golem of the ancient magic empire.This captain tortoise's companion is really extraordinary.

"I don't believe it!" The tall, thin man with a spear sneered.

"If you don't believe me, then you can leave by yourself. The only exit of the Titan Golem Factory is at the other end." The female mage pointed to the distance.

The factory that manufactures the strategic weapon Titan Golem has strict secrecy measures, and there is only one entrance and exit.The cracks formed by the earthquake above everyone's heads have now been refilled with rocks.So even if an adventurer wants to use the flying technique to leave, it is impossible.

The man with the long gun obviously has a personality that explodes when he is provoked.He laughed and said to his companion: "Jeremy Hanks, let's go! Who the hell wants to listen to this woman pretending to be a ghost! Mages are all sinister and vicious guys!"

"This..." The spearman's two companions were obviously unwilling to take the risk.

"Hmph, with the courage of the two of you, I'm afraid you will only be able to marry a goblin in the future." The man with the spear taunted, and walked into the darkness alone.

Then, the adventurer used his own life to prove the saying "If you die, you will die".

He just walked out more than 200 meters away.A huge head made in the shape of a pointed helmet suddenly responded.Inside the huge blue-gray stone, there was a buzzing vibration.Immediately afterwards.The head's eyes turned red, and then burst into a light that was too dazzling to look directly at.

In the next second, the man with the spear was burned to black ashes by the dark red arcane rays shot out from the eyes of his head.Only the soles of a pair of cowhide boots remained.

The adventurers who witnessed this scene.Suddenly exclaimed in unison.

With iron-like facts in front of him, no one doubted what the red-haired female mage said.

"That's it." The tortoise captain sighed, and said to Gordon, "Sir, among this large group of people, only you and Jialina are mages. I think you are the only two who can find out the solution to the current situation." way to trouble."

Although the bodies were disintegrated, the titan golems still had the duty of defense.It is a mountain that prevents adventurers from leading to the only exit.If there is no way to deal with those titan golems, everyone will probably have to be trapped in this small corner.

"Those titan golems aside. Maybe we should find another way," Gordon said.

With his acting style, he naturally wouldn't slam on these titan golems.This traveler mage is not a rigid thinker who only thinks about the person in front of him.

Gordon took out the architect's rod from the dimension bag.He remembered that there was also a fossilized mud spell stored in it.

The red-haired female mage named Jialina glanced at the wand in Gordon's hand and shook her head: "Sir..."

"My name is Gordon."

"Mr. Gordon, the walls of the golem factory have been specially strengthened. Ordinary swords and your spells may not be able to destroy it. And even if a hole is opened, we don't know what is on the other side. Maybe there is no road, but endless rocks."

"What you said makes sense, but how do you know if you don't try it?"

Gordon raised the architect's staff, pointed it at the wall, and read a password.

The sand-yellow fossil was the mud technique light that hit the wall, sinking like stone into the ocean, without any reaction.It seems that the walls of this factory have indeed been strengthened to be immune to spells.

And a group of people, a big man with a two-handed giant axe, didn't believe in evil. He aimed his weapon at the wall and hit it hard.As a result, the loud sound of the impact made everyone cover their ears, and the big man was dislocated by the force of the feedback, and his mouth was bleeding.And the walls, unscathed.

Spell and physical destruction, two consecutive attempts failed, and the morale of the adventurers gradually declined.

Just as the big man was screaming in pain and receiving treatment, there was a crack in the wall that was hit by the giant ax just now, and a crack appeared.

"What's going on? Did that ax work?"

"No, the power to destroy the wall came from the other side!" Gordon said.At the same time, he pulled Sigrid and backed away to a distance.

Other adventurers also took out their weapons as if they were facing a big enemy, and surrounded the wall whose cracks were expanding rapidly like spider webs.

No matter what is breaking the wall on the other side, its power cannot be underestimated.

Finally, after continuous impacts, this golem factory has been specially strengthened. Not only is it extremely strong, but also the wall that is immune to arcane magic has been smashed into a big hole.

A huge amount of groundwater gushed out of the big hole first, overturning the few adventurers who were closest.Immediately afterwards, one after another, short but stocky and strong figures rushed out of the water spray gap.

They wore heavy armor, held excellent weapons, had big beards, and had strange gray skin.

"Unexpectedly, in this situation, I met those gray dwarves..." Gordon smiled wryly.He hoped these guys didn't know that he was the one who killed their companions in the adventurer's camp.Otherwise, you can only fight. (To be continued..)
