Arad's Sword

Chapter 389 Magic Iron Chain
Hearing Zared speak, Zaknafein frowned immediately.

This invitation came too fast and too suddenly, which made people feel caught off guard.

So it's never really an invitation, more like a temptation.

Zaknafein was afraid that Midi would accidentally answer wrong and offend the powerful black dragon priestess, so he quickly winked at Midilian.

However, for Midi, who is an aristocrat and is good at dealing with various forces, why should he remind such overtones?

In fact, this level of temptation is the most obvious and easy to understand in the political field of the Arad continent, and it is naturally the easiest to deal with.

"I'm flattered by this invitation. When I regain my freedom and become a tribal warrior, I will naturally share with you all the interesting things about the Arad continent." Midi replied with a smile on her face.

It's just a simple sentence, but the temptation from Zared was immediately dismissed as an understatement.

First of all, Midi did not directly reject the other party.

Using the art of language that belonged to human aristocrats, he even made the aggressive Zared feel that he wanted to join her skirt very urgently.

But in fact, what he said was "sharing knowledge with everyone", neither agreed to Zared's invitation, nor did he clearly share the content.

It can be said that Midi never promised anything.

Not only that, he also used the most effective trick - procrastination.

To be free and become a warrior of the tribe is the most important goal of any slave fighter.If the goals in this area are not allowed, it is tantamount to breaking the bottom line, and there is nothing to talk about.

Zared is obviously far from the showdown now, so naturally he has to show tolerance and understanding.

And as long as she nods like this, immediately, Midi will have a few more weeks of breathing room like magic.

Everything was contained in that short, natural and unpretentious answer.

"My friend, it seems that as long as I'm with you, there are surprises every day." After bidding farewell to Zared who got up and saw him off, and walking out of the Presbyterian hall, Zaknafein once again re-examined the black-haired human beside him, "I guess, you should come from a great human country, and you are a nobleman?"

Zaknafein himself is from the Stormwind City in the Underdark region, and his knowledge is much higher than that of the dark elves of the Tarantula Tribe, which is why he made this judgment.

"It's all in the past." Midi didn't deny it, but just replied like this.

"In any case, at least we have avoided a lot of trouble. Being involved in the conflict between Zalid and Glandis is not a good thing for slave fighters. No matter how much we win the respect of the fighters, as long as we If you are still a slave, you will inevitably be treated as cannon fodder." Zaknafein patted Midi on the shoulder.

Then, frowning, he adjusted the extra magic iron chain around his neck, commonly known as the "iron ring", and walked out of the cave familiarly.

The closer to the periphery, the lower the zenith of the cave, and finally turned directly into a passage.

This passage is the main connection point between the Tarantula Tribe and the Underdark Region. At the beginning, the caravan that picked up Midi returned to the Tarantula Tribe from here.

At the entrance of the passage, there are dozens of different outposts concealed, and there are even two hidden bunkers, where the most elite fighters in the tribe are stationed [-]/[-].

Since Midi and Zaknafein were wearing magic iron chains and had already reported to the elders, they were not questioned.

The tarantula fighters just waved their hands and let them walk through the passage.

When they stepped out of the last section of the cave, it meant that Midi and Zaknafein had left the tribe and entered the "wilderness" of the Underdark Region.

"Okay, let's start exploring now." Zaknafein whispered.

Then, for the next full six hours, he never said a word again.

This experienced warrior, and also an extremely seasoned explorer, directly held the long sword in his hand, and didn't even try to flip through the map. Just relying on his memory, he began to explore the depths of the Underdark without hesitation. advance.

Midi activated the environmental sensing ability and followed closely behind.

However, what he was thinking at the moment was not how to complete the task this time, but another thing——

How to abolish the magic chain around the neck?

Whether it is a slave fighter or a magic iron chain, it can be said to be the common sense and tradition of the Underdark.

It's normal to become a slave fighter after being rescued.

After becoming a slave fighter, it is normal to wear magic chains when going out to perform tasks.

Even arrogant elites such as Zaknafein and Mason don't seem to have any aversion to this tradition.

But Midi is not a dark elf, but a human from the surface.

Even if he reluctantly accepted the way of stepping into the dark elf society from slavery, it didn't mean that he would allow something that could explode at any time to be worn around his neck.

You know, when I was in the Tarantula Tribe, Midi had no weapons and was surrounded by guards. If Midi tried her best, the flying skill "Flying Sword Dance" and Psychic Burst would be used together to escape from that place. The cave is not difficult, even ten bunkers can't trap him.

It can be said that he looks dangerous, but in fact he is very safe.

But now, although others are in the wild and unattended, the magic iron chain that can explode as long as the priestess has a thought will pose a huge threat to Midi's safety.

Besides, it wasn't Galantis who put the magic iron chain on him this time, but Galantis' deadly enemy.

Who knows if that woman named Zared will do something on this magic chain?
Even if he hadn't done anything, with Midi's personality, he would never tolerate a bomb tied around his neck.

It's not a matter of honor, it's not a matter of self-respect, it's a matter of basic survival.

So, of course, this thing had to be dismantled.

And it was removed without the black dragon priests being able to detect it.

After all, Midi has been tossing for so long just to find a clue to enter the Black Dragon Conference through the Tarantula tribe. If he turns his face, the slave fighter who has been a slave fighter for so long will be in vain.

If the eighth apostle Lotes was asked to help, it would be effortless to untie this magic chain.

However, Midi didn't speak immediately.

He has to try it himself first.

If everything depends on others, then it is not the Midi who fought all the way.

After six hours of walking in the wilderness of the Underdark, after some sporadic and simple battles, Zaknafein finally found a cave for rest, and the two immediately got into it.

"Do you want to light the lamp?" Zaknafein asked very intimately.

"No, I want to meditate and recover my magic power." Midi replied.

Saying this, Midi pretended to be meditating, but in fact, she was secretly operating the Spirit Dragon Sword in her body.

In an instant, a dark blue psionic energy penetrated into the magic iron chain around his neck.

Psychic powers, environmental sensing.

However, this time, what Midi sensed was not the environment of the Underdark Region, but the environment inside the magic chain.

With the infiltration of psychic energy, soon, the entire structure of the magic iron chain was presented in front of Midi without any concealment, as if Midi had the same see-through ability as the Hundred-eyed Demon Lord.

And in the center of the iron chain, the magic circle hinged by the filaments made of Mithril is its core part.

It is through this magic circle that the priestess can perceive the location of the magic iron chain, and even the mood of the wearer, and then judge whether the target has fled, and then detonate it with a single thought.

Midi is not interested in being sensed. If even this function is removed, then she will be regarded as a fugitive, which is tantamount to wasting all previous efforts.

What he wanted to dismantle was the offensive part of the magic circle.

Let's try it out, those high-level psychic powers in the Neptune's inheritance.

Mind shielding!

Mind melting!

In an instant, the Spirit Dragon Sword in Midi's body rang softly.

While maintaining the environmental sensing, Midi used two other psychic powers one after another.

Mind shielding is to completely shield one's next actions, so as not to be noticed by the black dragon priest about the abnormal situation in the magic iron chain.

As for the soul melting, it is natural to completely transform the magic circle formed by the mithril filaments.

Although Midi himself lacks research on the magic circle, there is still Rotes here.

Under the guidance of the eighth apostle, Midi began to use the ability of mind melting to melt the contact points smaller than the tip of a hair, and then reassembled them.

The magic circle drawn on the hair-like mithril thread is small, but extremely complicated. It took more than half an hour for Midi to finally complete the transformation.

As the induction deepened, Midi became more and more aware of the structure of the magic iron chain. In the end, he did not remove the trigger device as he planned at the beginning, but left the trigger, which will be contained in the magic chain. The part of the chain that had explosive power was dismantled.

That part is called "hair crystal", which is a kind of crystal that condenses dark magic power.

It can be said that for this sake, Midi is completely safe.

For example, a bomb whose fuse has been dismantled may still be forcibly detonated during a violent impact.

And if the bomb is taken away and only the fuse is left, it cannot be blown up no matter what.

What Midi is doing now is this kind of thing.

And after removing the hair crystal with mind smelting, he used the skill of "Turning the Stars" again to take it out of the closed space.

Looking at the explosives in his hand that looked like black hair, Midi let out a sigh of relief.

Now, finally, the worries of the future are completely eliminated.

Then comes the real exploration.
