The mage arrives

After Comrade "Captain Turtle" Ajinhan took the lead in passing the death road composed of a group of titan golems, it proved that the plan that Gordon took the lead and completed jointly by the other two mages was indeed feasible.Trapped in a small corner, the adventurers who hadn't eaten or slept well for nearly two days finally acted as if they had been given a shot of stimulant.

The red-haired mage, who was anxious to meet her fiancé, set off immediately after seeing that Ajinhan was safe and sound.Members of the same adventure group as the couple followed closely behind.

Then Gordon and Sigrid.

After that, other adventurers also took steps.Except for some adventurers who are too cautious and want to wait and see, no one wants to stay in that damn corner anymore.

Gordon was holding the Nesser Staff and the Living Shield around him as he walked through the rocky mountain of broken bodies of the Titan Golems.And Sigrid's knight long sword has already been unsheathed.Other adventurers might think they're just in case they accidentally stray off course and trigger the titan golem's destruction ray.But what the two of them really guarded against were the gray dwarves.

When using the summoned creatures to explore the way, Gordon kept an eye out, observing the actions of the twelve gray dwarves at all times.These gray-skinned dwarves had already had great doubts about Gordon's identity. The reason why they didn't act immediately was because they needed to rely on three mages to find a way out of this ghostly place.The gray dwarves are evil in nature, and they are not the kind of law-abiding citizens who have 100% conclusive evidence to act.Even if they couldn't be 100% sure that Gordon was the one who killed their companions, they would still do it.

Gordon noticed several times that the gray dwarves—especially the leader named Travok—were looking at himself and Sigrid with malicious eyes.So he has to be prepared.

These twelve gray dwarves were one of the many expeditions sent by the Ax and Iron Fist mercenaries to Mount Vesula.

Of course, it is impossible for a mercenary regiment of 300 people to squeeze together.Flock into the ruins to explore.Divide the mercenary group into exploration teams of about ten people. Each exploration team is equipped with a member who has mastered the ability of the heart of the earth, and then explores separately.Efficiency can be improved a lot.

The 12-person gray dwarf exploration team that met Gordon had six warriors.Four rock sentry guards equipped with steel crossbows, and two rune mages, their professional configuration is quite balanced, and their strength is not bad. The leader Travok is a ninth-level fighter, and the weapon he used If the two-handed warhammer is hit, I am afraid that not many people will survive.

The adventurers lined up in a long line, advancing cautiously and extremely cautiously.It took a lot of time to finally pass through the most dangerous area and leave the Titan Golem factory without any risk. "I didn't expect that just walking would consume so much mental and physical energy." The red-haired mage, who was sweating all over due to nervousness, leaned close to her fiancé, panting heavily, as if she was terribly tired.

Rufa didn't look any better either.As he tried his best to adjust his breathing, his eyes wandered around Gordon not far away and the female druid beside him.He was worried that when he was in a state of fatigue, Gordon would suddenly attack and rescue Vinia.

And Gordon's physical fitness is much stronger than the other two mages.As soon as he walked out of the Titan Golem Factory, he began to look around.

He remembered the outside of the titan golem factory as shown in the structure diagram of the floating city given to him by the God of Knowledge.It is a boulevard with paved tracks and a width of up to 30 meters.This is a road specially built to transport the finished King Titan Golem.On both sides of the road, there are ten towers in total for the high-level magic craftsmen who make Titan golems to rest.In addition, there are many warehouses for storing golem raw materials.

This entire huge space is actually an industrial and living park for the production of titan golems.

However, because of that short but strong earthquake, the entire terrain has been changed beyond recognition.

Now under the feet of everyone in Gordon—that is, the dome of the entire park, it has been torn apart, forming many huge and deep new caves.But no one knows where the caves lead.And Gordon who wants to go up and reach the core area of ​​the entire Floating Void City.Obviously don't go into these caves.

Overhead, the buildings that were originally built on the ground.Because the upper and lower positions are inverted, they have all collapsed and been damaged under the action of gravity.Only the ten towers, because they run through the entire space and connect the ground and the dome, they still look complete.However, the earthquake just now also caused considerable structural damage to these towers.Seeing the cracks exposed in those outer walls, I'm afraid no one would want to venture in.

"It seems that we can only use the flying technique to fly up, and then find a way to get through the rock formation." Gordon drew up a plan for the next step.

But before leaving, it seems that the problem of the gray dwarves must be resolved first.

For as soon as he looked up at the crumbling towers, the duergars attacked.

"Being a vassal race of the dark elves for thousands of years, I haven't learned anything else. I have mastered the method of secretly attacking the black hand." Gordon sneered, and consciously controlled the activated shield to slide to the side, blocking four A crossbow bolt fired from a duergar rock sentry.

When the fine steel arrow collided with the fine gold surface of the shield, golden sparks burst out, instantly lighting up the dark environment.Before the eyes of the surrounding adventurers could adapt to the drastic change from dark to bright, Gordon launched a counterattack.

Gordon's right hand holds the staff and points forward, and his left hand moves quickly, guiding the magic power to gather, and then transforming it into arcane energy of force field attribute.The rapid chant of dragon language was heard by other adventurers around, like a flash of thunder.It was at this almost unimaginable speed that Gordon completed his signature spell: Gordon Freeman's Missile Storm.

After a long period of practice, improvement, and constant tempering of the guidance and control of arcane energy, the power of this self-created spell is no longer what it used to be.The mana cost of using a missile storm has increased from 20 points to 30 points, but the killing effect has more than tripled.

Today's missile storm can release thirty magic missiles at a time.The destructive power of each magic missile is the same as through the powerful spell feat.The magic missile cast is directed in the same direction.

The power of this spell is already comparable to the top six-ring evocation spell.At the beginning, I invented this spell with the mentality of experimenting and exploring the way.Under the continuous tempering of Gordon's increasingly mellow arcane attainments, he has discarded the chaff and kept the chaff.became the perfect body.That's why Gordon removed the word "primary" from the previous spell name.

In the future, with the further deepening of understanding of magic theory and the continuous improvement of one's own arcane attainments, this spell can be further strengthened, and it will be dubbed "advanced" and "ultimate".

Thirty drop-shaped force field energy bombs poured out from Gordon's fingertips, and then spread out quickly.in the dark.From the eyes of others, this scene seemed as if a galaxy flowed out from Gordon's fingertips, and then formed a small starry sky.

The silver energy kept hitting the target, and the creepy muffled sounds and screams rang out in the darkness one after another.

Gordon has the low-light vision ability brought by the heir of blood, and Sigrid, as an Eladrin, also has the racial talent for vision.And the gray dwarves, as a race that has lived in the underground world for a long time, have long been accustomed to the darkness.

But other adventurers are not used to the current situation.In the ancient ruins in this mountain, no matter it is daily travel.When encountering enemies, they will only feel at ease when they are under the light.

When the six gray dwarves were killed by the missile storm.The other adventurers finally reacted.Their first move was to re-use all possible means to illuminate the surrounding environment.In the golem factory just now, in order to reduce the probability of being locked by the terrifying eyes of the head of the titan golem, the adventurers didn't even dare to light the torches.

The adventurers gasped when they saw the bodies of six gray dwarves lying on the ground in a pool of blood.Unexpectedly, this powerful gray dwarf team lost half of its manpower all at once in just a flash fight.

Rufa let out a contemptuous "chi" from the corner of his mouth, holding the female druid and Alva away from the crowd quickly.

"A brain as stubborn as a rock. Coupled with a sinister and vicious mind, it is simply the worst combination... These gray dwarves just got out of trouble. They couldn't wait to attack Gordon. They really don't know what to do. It seems It’s better for me to act alone. With these gray dwarves. Although I can get a lot of convenience, I will also get into a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

The combination of Rufa and the gray dwarves was originally a mutual use.He has no obligation to help these gray dwarves and make Gordon an enemy.He felt that although Gordon was not as good as himself, he was also a smart person who judged the situation and would not rashly become an enemy of himself just because of a matriarch of an aboriginal tribe.

Another reason why Lufa was afraid to act rashly was because of the missile storm that Gordon had just fired.

Rufa didn't know that Gordon had the ability to cast spells quickly in Arkhosia, and thought that he just used the ability to cast spells instantly, so that he was able to complete the spell almost in the blink of an eye.No matter relying on their own strength, relying on props or other tricks, mages who can instantly cast six-ring spells should not be underestimated.

After secretly evaluating, Rufa felt that he did not have an advantage in comparison with Gordon, so he finally chose to watch.

At first, the gray dwarf rock sentry's crossbow arrows sneaked in, and then Gordon's missile storm counterattacked. The first round of confrontation between the two sides only took three or four seconds.At this time, the adventurers who lit the torches and illuminated the surroundings orange-red saw that their armor was suddenly covered with a layer of blue.

The light source came from the sword in Sigrid's hand.

Eladrin's sword-making skills are far less famous than their swordsmanship and magic, not only inferior to dwarves, but also inferior to their relative elves.However, relying on the unique advantages of the race, Eladrin can create weapons with a very high affinity for energy.Such a weapon may have mediocre power in the hands of other races, but in the hands of Eladrin, it can exert great power.

The female knight can switch between the two forms of water and fire, and the long sword tailored for her in her hand can also switch freely between the two forms of water and fire.

Today, the sword in her hand is called "Light of Sarah Lake".Because the "water" part of this sword was cast when the first rays of sunlight fell in the early morning at Sara Lake, the holy lake in Yaling on the Great Wasteland.

At this time, the surrounding adventurers could only feel the moistness brought by the blue light emitted from the sword body.It smells like a lakeside wetland.And the leader of the gray dwarf, holding the warhammer high and facing the female knight's attacking sword, is another feeling.

Travok felt it.As soon as the opponent's blade came into contact with his war hammer, a strange force surged along the handle of the hammer.

All-pervasive.And ubiquitous.

The leader of the gray dwarf shook his arms, and finally separated from the female knight.He looked at the woman whose arms were half as thick as his own in disbelief.The gray dwarf thought that this beautiful woman was just a plaything that the sorcerer brought with him to relieve loneliness, but he didn't expect that the other party was so powerful.

Just one fight made the gray dwarf leader Travok's arms feel sore, and his bulging muscles began to tremble, as if he could no longer hold the weapon in his hand.

He felt as if he was fighting with thousands of troops.

"Rune Mage. Hurry up! What are you dawdling about!" Travok shouted desperately with a sense of crisis in his heart.At the same time, he added: "I will give three hundred gold coins to anyone who helps me kill this mage. I will give one thousand gold coins to those who kill him personally!"

Just as soon as he started, half of the team was destroyed by Gordon's missile storm.Such an unfavorable battle situation made Trawork feel very bad.However, as the leader of this gray dwarf exploration team, and a veteran fighter who had fought in the intriguing underground world, he knew how to use all available advantages to defeat the enemy.Achieve their goals.

Hearing the promise made by Travok in money, more than half of the onlooker adventurers showed greed in their eyes.

Such an opportunity to make a lot of money is rare.

These adventurers wandering in the yellow zone.Most of them have certain strength, but they also don't have the ability to explore deeper areas.They came to Vesula Mountain without any lofty goals, just wanting to make a fortune.It doesn't matter whether the way to get rich is to find treasure from the ruins or from the corpses of other adventurers.

With the temptation of a large sum of money and no moral constraints, helping the gray dwarves to kill Gordon seems to have become a matter of course.

Those drew their weapons.The adventurers who surrounded Gordon and Sigrid with ill intentions probably forgot at this time.Who is actively making suggestions and analyzing countermeasures.The one that brought them out of the golem factory.

However, it seemed that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and Gordon, who had been deeply surrounded, did not show any panic.He looked around and twitched his mouth slightly: "It's just a bunch of experience points in human form... Sigrid, get rid of the two rune mages first!"

Although she didn't know what experience points were, the female knight clearly heard the second part of Gordon's words.She immediately rushed towards the target, the speed was so fast that Gordon could only feel a gust of wind with the scent of a girl blowing around him.

The remaining six gray dwarves, including four warriors including the leader Travok, stood in front and firmly protected the two rune mages behind them.

However, the two spellcasters who received key protections have not played a role.

Unlike races such as humans and elves, the dwarves seem to have been insulated from the arcane since the moment they were born.

For several epochs, no one has ever heard of or encountered it, and there is no record of any dwarf mage in the history books.It wasn't until 103E 103, the year of the Stone Language as the astrologers called it, that the dwarves were suddenly gifted with arcane magic.Some people say that this is the blessing from Moradin, the main dwarf god, while others say that it is the result of the joint research of several dwarf kings.Although the secrets are kept so well that there are different opinions, one fact has not changed: since the [-]rd year of the fourth era, newborns in the dwarves have a certain probability of possessing arcane talent.

It's just that due to the constraints of race, dwarf mages are quite different from mages of other races.

Mages like Rufa and Jialina prepare spells through the three steps of touching the magic net, extracting energy, and storing it in the body.When casting a spell, you only need to guide out the arcane energy in your body, and then use spells and gestures to shape the spell you need.

However, the dwarves were unable to complete such steps.They must rely on a magical stone with runes engraved on it - runestones, to store the energy extracted from the magic net.When it was time to cast a spell, they extracted the energy from the runestones.

Therefore, the dwarf mage is also called the rune mage.

Dwarves are an excellent race with intelligence and intelligence. After they have the ability to use arcane magic.Soon, he began to improve his unique runestone casting system.Rune mages are found to combine specific runes.After engraved on the runestone, it can be used to deal with the original arcane energy extracted from the devil.for further shaping.

Therefore, when casting a spell, the rune mage can extract the semi-finished spell from the runestones, which greatly simplifies the process of using gestures and incantations to complete the spell later.

Also because of the simplification of the casting gestures, coupled with the already strong body of the dwarves, the rune mage can wear heavy armor without worrying about the heavy equipment oppressing and affecting the complex and precise gestures when casting spells.Thus causing the spell to fail.

In battle, a rune mage wearing heavy armor and amazing protection is of course stronger than an ordinary mage wearing only a cloth robe.

Rune mages aren't without their flaws, though.

Because runestones are used to prepare spells instead of themselves, there is an extra step in the energy conversion process of casting spells.The arcane energy of ordinary mages has been circulating in the body, while rune mages need to extract energy from runestones.And foreign objects like runestones are not as reliable as one's own body after all.

Rely on runestones to cast spells.Although the spell-casting procedure is simplified, the energy circulation process is complicated, overall.The casting speed of rune mages is often slower than that of ordinary mages.In addition, when a rune mage casts a spell, he not only needs to prepare the casting materials, but also prepares a corresponding runestone, which greatly increases the logistical pressure.

It is not uncommon to see rune mages who travel around with a big bag on their backs.

At this time, the reason why the two gray dwarf rune mages who were fighting with Gordon and Sigrid did not complete the spell was because their casting speed was relatively slow.Especially compared to Gordon who has mastered the fast casting of Arkhosia, he is even slower than a turtle.

In addition to the ruins of Vesula Mountain.The influence of the residual magical power of various Netherduran magic empires made the properties of runestones unstable.Rune mages want to get out of these round gray stones.Extracting arcane energy is more troublesome than usual.

Even though Travok, the leader of the gray dwarves, urged his two rune mages loudly, those two guys were half a beat too late to complete the spell.

At this time, the female knight had already jumped high, about to cross the line of defense composed of four dwarf warriors, and with the sword in her hand, killed the two most threatening spellcasters among the enemies.

Originally, according to Traworker's meaning, the most difficult Gordon should be killed first.The opponent is a mage who can use large-scale destructive spells, so it should be the primary target of course.

But seeing Sigrid attacking from mid-air, the two rune mages changed their minds in order to save their lives.

They changed the target of their spells to this female knight with flying blue hair and a sea-like light shining all over her body.

The ground began to vibrate slightly, and the magic power guided dozens of rock spikes to grow instantly, and then pierced towards Sigrid.

The female knight in mid-air could not change direction, and still kept falling, and was about to be penetrated by the rock spikes made by the rune mage immediately.

It seems that the only factor that can determine Sigrid's life and death now is whether her phoenix armor can resist those rock spikes that have been strengthened by magic power.

"Let the knight follower go to die, so as to buy time for himself to cast a spell?" Rufa, as a bystander, thought he could see through Gordon's intentions at a glance, "It seems that Gordon is not as you imagined. The good guy of the companion." Rufa said, and glanced at the female druid beside him.

But the mage obviously made a mistake of judging others by himself.

Just when Sigrid was about to be hit by the rock spikes, Gordon first summoned four huge golems that were covered in cold air to deal with the adventurers who had turned to the gray dwarves for money.Then he shot a yellow light from his left hand, hitting the spiked jungle created by the rune mage.

Under the effect of the spell, those indestructible rock spikes began to bend, blunt, and close at the fastest speed, and finally formed a stone bridge built in the air.

As for Sigrid, she stepped onto the stone bridge that Gordon helped her build, walked a few steps quickly, and then rushed down, the sword in her hand danced a blue halo around her, wrapping the two rune mages in Inside.

When the beautiful Elaine landed on the ground with the lightest posture, behind her were only two corpses that had their necks cut and collapsed to the ground.
