Versatile Mage: Sword of the Stars, Slay All Evil Spirits

Chapter 58: Adventure with Irene

In the spicy crayfish room, the lighting is slightly dim, and the air is filled with a rich, mellow, spicy aroma.

It is the unique taste of crayfish, mixed with a hint of numbing peppercorns, which stimulates one's sense of smell and makes one's mouth water.

The wooden tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the table was covered with a clean red cloth.

In the central candlestick, the candle flickered and the light and shadows danced on everyone's faces.

Chen Chen and Lingling sat opposite each other, with steam rising from the teacups in front of them. The fragrance of the tea was intertwined with the aroma of crayfish that faintly seeped in from outside the private room.

Lingling held her chin with both hands and glanced at the door from time to time, "Why hasn't Grand Duke Irene come yet? We've been waiting for a long time."

Chen Chen was calm and collected. He took a sip from the teacup and said soothingly, "Don't worry. It won't take a while."

As the Grand Duke, it was normal for him to have more things to explain, and he didn't think Irene would neglect him.

This did not cause any loss to herself, but she lost a lot of valuable information.

Soon, the door of the private room was gently pushed open, and Irene walked in hurriedly.

She changed into a light adventurer's outfit today. The tight leather armor outlined her graceful figure. Her blonde hair was tied into a neat ponytail, making her look very capable.

"Sorry, sorry, I kept you waiting." Irene smiled apologetically, but her eyes were filled with excitement.

It was my first time going out on an adventure alone, and I couldn’t help but feel excited.

"It's okay, we just arrived too." Chen Chen stood up and nodded slightly.

Lingling also jumped up and ran to Irene, looking at her outfit curiously: "Grand Duke Irene, you are dressed so cool today!"

Irene smiled and patted Lingling's head: "We are going to Hurricane Mountains this time, how can we not dress neatly?"

The three of them sat down, and the waiter quickly brought out pots of steaming spicy crayfish. The bright red shrimp shells were shiny and the rich aroma instantly filled the entire private room.

Lingling's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to put on her gloves and reach out to catch the shrimps.

Chen Chen and Irene looked at each other, smiled, and started fighting.

Chen Chen's technique was very skillful. He gently broke the shrimp shell and the plump shrimp meat came out. He put it in his mouth and squinted his eyes slightly.

Irene also gracefully peeled a shrimp, savored it carefully and said, "I am more and more curious about your Chinese food. This little delicacy can be so delicious, what about the others?"

"It's naturally delicious too. When this trip is over, I'll invite you to taste it if you have the chance."

"Thanks in advance."

"You are welcome."

Lingling's cheeks were puffed up from eating, and she interrupted incoherently: "What are you afraid of? With Brother Chen here, there will be no problem!"

"By the way." After hearing this, Chen Chen suddenly felt the need to introduce them, "I have a few companions, Irene, let's get to know them."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and a sacred aura burst out, and six figures appeared on the seats next to him.

These people are naturally Mordred, Kay, Gawain, Merry, Galalad, and Tristan.

"These six are also our companions."

When Irene saw the six people suddenly appear, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She smiled and nodded: "Everyone is welcome to join this trip."

Kai spoke first: "Grand Duke, you are too polite. This journey is full of dangers. Let us help each other."

The other three knights had the same idea, while Mordred and Merry quietly ate the crayfish.

Lingling swallowed the food in her mouth and rushed over excitedly, "Xiao Mo, you're out again."

"Little girl, don't be so excited." Mordred tapped her little head.

Seeing this harmonious situation, Chen Chen also smiled.

Everyone in the group was talking to each other, and laughter echoed in the private room.

On the eve of departure, the brief warmth and relaxation, like the calm before the storm, brought each other closer. …………

After dinner, Chen Chen and his party set out on their journey to Hurricane Mountains.

Along the way, Mordred was in high spirits, sharing his past adventures with Chen Chen, Lingling, and Irene. The laughter echoed in the woods, making the originally tense atmosphere a lot more relaxed.

The main reason is that Mordred can't hold back her temper, so Chen Chen had to let her be the vanguard.

As soon as they approached the edge of the mountain range, the howling wind sounded like the roar of a wild beast, whipping everyone's clothes fiercely. The wind carried fine sand and gravel, which scraped painfully on their faces.

"What a terrifying wind element! This tearing is no less than mid-level magic!"

Chen Chen instantly felt the breath of death coming from all around him. This place had extremely abundant wind elements!

Fortunately, Chen Chen had been operating the Wind King Barrier, so no one was hurt.

As we entered the mountains, the scenery became increasingly bizarre.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and lightning snakes were dancing wildly. From time to time, thunder would strike with a loud bang, exploding in the ears.

The road below is rugged and difficult to walk on. There are bottomless ravines hidden among the rugged rocks. If you are not careful, you will fall.

Of course, there were also items like magic stones among them, but they could not attract the attention of the three people at all.

When they reached a valley, the fog was so thick that they couldn't see clearly inside. The detector in Lingling's hand suddenly flashed wildly and issued a sharp alarm.

"Be careful, there is danger!" Lingling shouted loudly.

Chen Chen was instantly alert, and glanced around, "Tristan!"

next moment.

The soothing music played by Tristan then rang out, and the music turned into invisible ripples, dispersing some of the fog and making everyone's vision a little clearer.

Among them, a group of black shadows were seen rushing in the fog. They were the Wind and Thunder Demon Lions.

They were surrounded by violent lightning and howling winds, and their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.

The leading lion is huge, with its mane flying like flames, and its roar makes people's eardrums hurt.

"Wind King Hammer!!"

Chen Chen reacted quickly and swung the holy sword in his hand violently. The wind force that had been accumulated long ago suddenly slashed towards the lion group.

The creatures' instinct drives them to hide away involuntarily.

Bang! ! !
The wind force slashed fiercely on the rock wall, and several gaps of tens of meters appeared in an instant!
"Knight Drizzt will guard the rear. Lady Meli, come out and restrain them!" Chen Chen took a quick glance and gave the order. Then he looked at Irene and Lingling, "Let's go!"

What bad luck! The sound of the piano actually attracted the Wind-Thunder Demon Lion, which has the strongest overall strength in this mountain range!

The current location is unknown and it is not easy to fight!
Three figures quickly disappeared at the intersection of the valley and walked away.

And Mary's figure also appeared quietly. She was not ambiguous at all towards the lion group. She waved the magic wand in her hand, sprinkling a large area of ​​icy frost, covering the path they had to pass through with frost.

Tristan used his Noble Phantasm Failnaught to fire countless vacuum arrows to stop the Wind and Thunder Demon Lion.
Then he turned into a point of light and returned to the holy sword. Tristan, who was also in charge of the rear, did the same thing.

As we go deeper into the mountains, difficulties arise one after another.

The steep mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, and Lingling was not feeling well, so Chen Chen could only let Mordred hold her.

Secondly, the mountains are thick with fog, which obstructs vision and can easily lead to loss of direction if you are not careful.

Tristan's piano music can dispel the evil spirits, but it will also attract the demon tribes here. Chen Chen does not want to do something that will do more harm than good.

"Can you confirm our current location?" Chen Chen looked at Lingling and asked.

Mordred and Irene also turned their heads to look over.

"No." Lingling shook her head and explained: "The fog is too deep, and some of the locations in the intelligence cannot be confirmed."

"Besides the Wind and Thunder Demon Lion just now, the other Shadow Blood Wolves and Storm Birds have not yet appeared."
