The mage arrives

Leaving aside the problem of Travok, the gray dwarf, what Gordon needs to solve now is the problem of twenty gray dwarves in heavy armor and holding battle axes, rushing towards him with murderous aura.

Looking at the opponent's equipment, he should be a member of the Ax and Iron Fist mercenary group just like Travok.But why this group of gray dwarves would start a fight among themselves, staged this scene of twenty chasing and killing one person, Gordon didn't know.

As the number one mage of "Ancient Era" today, it is not a big problem for Gordon to deal with the twenty menacing dwarf warriors in front of him.

The opponent has a single professional mix, all of them are heavy dwarf warriors. Such a team may be able to hunt down a gray dwarf traitor, but it is quite tricky to deal with an outstanding mage.

Gordon first summoned two groups of Ava's black tentacles that had been enhanced by spells, and they entangled all the gray dwarves.Then he raised his left arm high again, his gestures changed, and he rolled up a black and green cloud that was thick with death and foul smell.

Ava's black tentacles and death cloud technique can be regarded as a fairly classic combination of spells. Its large-scale killing and field control effects are the best for (top) (point) (fiction) a group of fighters who can only fight in close quarters. It's just right.

Seeing the death cloud attacking, and being entangled by the thick tentacles again, unable to escape, all the gray dwarf fighters who were chasing after him showed panicked expressions.

But Gordon didn't think it was enough, and summoned all four battle ice golems.He raised his hand and pointed, and four huge constructed creatures rushed towards the dwarves with neat steps that made the ground tremble.

Anyway, the golem will not be affected by the death cloud technique, and it happens to be able to show its power at this time.

The duergars are still like clumsy woodcutters at this time.Wielding the battle ax, he entangled with more than a dozen Aivar black tentacles.It's a pity that when their sharp axes hit the strengthened black tentacles, they were immediately bounced off.At most a light white trace is left.

Coupled with the death cloud spell and the battle ice golem, they were already powerless to turn the situation around.

A one-on-twenty fight.It ended in such a one-sided situation.Travok couldn't believe his eyes.

But not far away, those corpses scattered on the grass, smashed by ice golems, or bleeding from the mouth and nose, and killed by the cloud of death forced Travok to accept this fact. : The mage in front of me is indeed not ordinary.

Watched by the duergar's wide-eyed eyes, Gordon touched his cheek.After the battle just now, the little girl was so excited that she jumped up and hugged him, and left a lip print on her cheek—moist and warm.It also has a girly aroma.

"What's your name, dwarf? Those guys look like your companions. Why are they hunting you down?" Gordon asked.

Although he already knew the name of the dwarf in front of him who had a long black beard braided into a string of beautiful little braids, he still had to follow the procedure to ask.

"Travok." The gray dwarf said with a snort, "Stranger, shouldn't you announce your name first? Besides, I don't seem to be obliged to answer other questions."

"Travok, I am the benefactor who helped you solve twenty pursuers. I think you are indeed obliged to answer my question."

In reality, Travork was Gordon's captive.This is reflected in the subconscious mind.When the two of them dealt with each other, the gray dwarf's aura unknowingly weakened a bit.In addition to the strength of the battle just now, Gordon used three spells to easily eliminate the strength of twenty gray dwarf heavy armored warriors, which made Travok who was hunted down like a shit.I can't get angry.

"Damn..." Travok tugged at his beard, muttered a few words, and then said to Gordon. "Okay, mage. You won. You are right, I really have no right to show off in front of you."

The gray dwarf sat down on the wet muddy ground.Ania, who saw this action cleanly, frowned, and shrank behind Gordon, wanting to stay away from that sloppy short-legged idiot.

But Trawork didn't care, and instead showed a comfortable and satisfied expression because his hips touched the ground.He slowly told Gordon his story and the reason why he was hunted down by his companions.

"I was in prison for ten years." Trawork said in a low voice.He looked up and found that the Gordon brothers and sisters didn't have any strange expressions before continuing.

"In the prison, the most important recreational activity for us prisoners is to play "The Ancient Era". I am no exception. From the day the game was officially released, I entered the game, even after I was released from prison, I still did not give up this virtual world."

Gordon has heard that there are many federal prisons with relatively good conditions, and virtual game devices have been popularized.It's just that the personal game terminals used by the prisoners will undergo special treatment such as blood removal.Moreover, when playing the game, a special monitoring plug-in will be activated to prevent these prisoners from engaging in virtual violence such as PK in the game.

In Gordon's view, such a castrated game is simply boring.However, for prisoners who lack entertainment activities, except for picking up soap and picking up soap, even the harmonious version of "The Ancient Era" still makes them feel a lot of fun.

After Travok was released from prison, he did not completely reform himself and become a good citizen of the Federation, but returned to his former gang.Coincidentally, the gang leader may have sensed the business opportunities of the virtual game, or wanted to use the game as a channel for money laundering, so all Travok’s gangs also entered the "Ancient Era" and established The mercenary group "Axe and Iron Fist" composed of gray dwarves.

Gordon didn't bother to complain about such a weird setting.

Because he knows that in this illusion, the relationship and background of various characters are based on the re-creation of reality.

In reality, the "Axe and Iron Fist" mercenary group composed entirely of gray dwarves belongs to the kind of organization that wanders in the gray area and does anything as long as it is profitable. It has many similarities with the underworld gang place.

Trawork continued: "The leader of our gang is my uncle. I was framed by him when I went to jail ten years ago. It's ridiculous that I have been kept in the dark, thinking that he is a good elder who values ​​family affection...but This time after I got out of prison, I discovered this secret. So my uncle started hunting me down to prevent me from seizing the gang’s inheritance rights.”

"Chasing and killing? To do this kind of thing, you have to do it in reality. What's the use in the game?"

"In reality, of course he is also chasing and killing me. It's just that I discovered his conspiracy early and hid in advance. The reason why he would launch gang members to hunt and kill me in the game is because I am now A professional gamer who lives off the game. He wants to kill me."

"I see." Gordon nodded.

The mage said this sentence not only because he understood Travok's current situation.It is because he can also use this information to speculate on the situation Travok is facing in reality.

Dwarves are a civilized race that values ​​blood relations and lives with a "tribe" as the basic social unit.This is true whether it is a shield dwarf like Dwarven Iron River that Gordon met in Clear Water City or a gray dwarf like Travok.

Therefore, ninety-nine percent of the "Ax and Iron Fist" mercenary group in reality is composed of a gray dwarf tribe with a single surname.The members of the mercenary group are all relatives.Mercenary captain and uncle of Travok.

Moreover, Gordon can be sure that Travok and his uncle also have great conflicts in reality.

Not only because the settings in the virtual fantasy world illustrate this point, but also the "Heart of the Earth" tattoo on Trawork's face is also a strong proof.

The heart of the earth of the dwarves is not a commonplace ability that any cat or dog can possess.Only those dwarves with noble ancestors and extraordinary aptitude can possess the ability of the heart of the earth.

And every dwarf with the ability of the heart of the earth is the best candidate for the chief of the tribe, no matter in terms of qualifications or ability.

But in the "Ax and Iron Fist" mercenary group, Travok, who has the ability of the heart of the earth, is just a small captain, not the mercenary group leader.

Gray dwarves usually live underground and exist as a subordinate race of dark elves.Now the "Axe and Iron Fist" mercenary group has come to the surface to make a living.How did these gray dwarves escape from the control of the dark elves, escape from the underground world, and come to the surface?I'm afraid there are many, many stories to tell.

Gordon has been able to deduce the general situation of the entire mercenary group based on the known information.

Due to some accident, these gray dwarves had to betray the dark elves and come to the surface world.And in the process, the tribe was displaced, and various things happened, so that the power was in the hands of Travok's uncle with a bad name, instead of possessing the ability of the heart of the earth, he was the orthodox successor Travok.

Then, naturally, there will be all kinds of undercurrents simmering in the succession struggle.

Although with the rocky heads of the dwarves and the ethnic culture that despises conspiracy and tricks, they can't play too decent tricks.But the gray dwarves serve the dark elves as a vassal race after all.They must have learned something from those masters who are proficient in conspiracy and calculation, and then used it on each other.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Gordon was engrossed in his thoughts, Ania couldn't help but coquettishly asked.

"I was just thinking, this guy's strength is not bad, and we just need a two-handed fighter. Although the magic output of the team is enough with me and you, the physical output is still lacking." Gordon said.

If you want to form a group to push the gods, naturally one more person will give you more strength.Trawork is good, and it's a good choice to include him in the team.

And Gordon didn't tell Ania that he was still thinking about the gray dwarf mercenary group in reality. (To be continued..)
