Since he was found by the "black light" wizard in the underworld three days ago, the entire right to speak has been firmly grasped by the other party.

The treacherous appearance was the biggest impression that the "black light" wizard left on Farina. To this day, she still hasn't seen the other party's true face, because every time the other party appears, it is attached to a cold black flame. This is probably the origin of his title!

It is of course a good thing that the heretics among the natives can take the initiative to come to the door to cooperate. But an ally who is too mysterious is not in line with Farina's pursuit. From the superficial exchanges, the other party seems to be open and honest, bluntly saying that they want to form a permanent alliance with the so-called "cemetery clan" and exchange the knowledge and resources they need with each other.

This was originally the main purpose of Farina's team's visit, and if things could be done so easily, of course it would be great. But the strong banshee, who has always pursued "everything is up to me", always feels that things are not so simple, and the purpose of this black light wizard is by no means so simple, so she is still in vain.

The first few contacts between the two sides reached some simple agreements for the exchange of knowledge and intelligence, and the specific alliance will have to wait until the situation stabilizes. At this time, both sides need each other and look at each other.

What Farina wants to see is the sincerity and intent of the dark wizards, and the dark wizards led by Black Light also want to see the quality of these invaders. An otherworldly force that can't even survive on its own doesn't even have the qualifications to bet.

So after a simple contact, Falina was sent out of the country with a polite gift!

There is news about the ghost girl and Karthas, and Falina has obtained basic information through the dark wizard's intelligence system, so at this moment she is accepting the other party's hospitality with peace of mind, and taking the opportunity to find out the precious resources of the wizarding world. Of course, in addition to the high-end materials that the caster needs, the ordinary materials that occupy the majority of the private trade are also part of what she needs to know beforehand.

When the cemetery gets a foothold here in the future, a large cross-dimensional transaction will have to start sooner or later, so it's always good to get to the bottom of it first. As for the idea of the cemetery to expand in a big way, to completely incorporate this plane into your hands, and to turn it into your own private plane, this is a beautiful idea, but the time and energy required is enormous. Moreover, this kind of aggressive stationing can only be exchanged for continuous riots and attacks, which will greatly involve the strength of the cemetery clan.

In contrast, the mode of merchant group stationing can complete the task of resource collection in the shortest time with the smallest number of troops. However, before the peace of the cemetery is revealed, it is also necessary to show your force properly to deter the delusional megalomaniacs who want to get something for nothing. If we don't get rid of the stubborn old-fashioned, the cemetery's attempt to take root here is almost a pipe dream.

What's more, there is a god standing behind the other party.

The natives of the wizarding world may change their attitude and cooperate with the cemetery under the temptation of great profit, but their gods are rarely possible. As the only god in the wizarding world, this world belongs to the only one, and now there are outsiders who want to get a piece of the pie from the only world, and this difficulty can be imagined.

But there are no absolutes!

People can be bought, but can't gods?

As long as you do what you like, there are no intelligent creatures in the world who will be stubborn to death!

So now you might as well fight first, and when both sides are tired, maybe the cemetery will still need to have a cup of tea and talk with the biggest boss in the wizarding world!

So, after sending a message in a cemetery-specific way, Falina stayed in the city of Makoren for a while, quietly waiting for the two companions to come and meet.

……

Klein Continent, southwest province of the Kingdom of Breeland, mountainous area of Firas.

As we approach the depths of winter, thick snow has fallen into the mountains, making it extremely difficult to traverse. However, in this season, the large beasts will appropriately reduce their range of activity and hide in their nests with a body of fat, so it has become the most lively hunting season in the Filas Mountains.

With the sound of "creaking", a small team of mercenaries trudged through the mountains and forests through the thick snow.

It was just around noon on the day, and strings of ice cubes hung in the treetops, shining in the warm winter sun. As far as the eye can see, the whole jungle is a beautiful fairy tale world made of ice and snow.

However, such a beautiful scenery will not help improve the mercenary's journey.

With great difficulty pulling his frozen and almost numb legs out of the knee-deep snow, Jack no longer had the heart to enjoy the surrounding scenery, and moved forward step by step while thinking slightly. Fortunately, the openings of the boots have been firmly tied with strips of cloth, otherwise you would have to stop and clean the boots after a while.

As a preference, Mage Jack was in the middle of the mercenary squad, and there was a tall burly man in front of him to help him shelter him from the wind and snow. This kind of treatment is not even enjoyed by those few female rangers with long bows and short swords.

The mercenary squad consists of 16 people, 2 Rogues, 1 Ranger, 4 Shield Warriors, 3 Rangers, 2 Swordsmen, 3 Spearmen, and 1 Mage. Such a team is already considered a top-level combination in the mountains of Firas, especially when there is a mage in the team, which is even more surprising.

Although the mountains of Firas also belong to the mage kingdom, and most of the mages in the kingdom have a tradition of going out to practice, most of their choices are large hunting places such as Red Ridge Mountain, Sorrowful Swamp, and Virgau Ogre Hill, and they are also joined by large mercenary groups with more than 2 people.

In the past, when the Arcane Tower of Oneros City was opened to the public, there were still many mage apprentices in the mountains of Firas who would occasionally mix with the mercenary team, hoping to obtain some cheap magic materials. But like a group of low-level mercenaries, there are only official mages who drill ravines, climb high cliffs, and sleep in the wilderness.

After all, as long as you become a full-fledged mage, it is still easy to make a living. Just put a fire arrow in front of a small nobleman in the countryside and throw an acid arrow, you can bluff the other party into a celestial person, and willingly serve you as a mage advisor. From then on, living in a tower, sleeping on a soft couch, having a good meal of wine and food, and even going in and out of a special carriage, how could they run to the cold wind howling winter mountains and forests to suffer!

But today, such an extremely abnormal level 2 mage appeared.

It's a great honor that 5 days ago, Jack Shun was promoted to a Level 2 Mage.

Although there is no major increase in the casting level, he can still only cast Tier 1 spells, but the "skyrocketing" spiritual power allows him to easily control most Tier 1 spells. You must know that when he was only a level 1 mage, there were only 9 level 1 spells that he could master and cast. And now, as long as it is a first-order spell without harsh system restrictions and prior knowledge, he can already complete that series of complicated and tedious spell casting processes within 5 fingers.

So, after the dearest Mentor Li Xun gave him some warm care and care, he left him to this hired mercenary team, and his mission target was the unique magical beast of the Filas Mountains - the Ice Troll. Of course, Tutor Li Xun only mentioned it a little before leaving, and if he had time on the road, he might as well bring back some "winter needle grass".

And it was only after Jack separated from his mentor that he had the opportunity to find out the information of winter needle grass in the botanical guide.

Winter needle grass, a potion ingredient that can be used to refine magic potions such as Cold Breath and Ice Touch, generally grows in cold areas covered with snow and ice, and parasitizes the bodies of dead creatures. (Note: It is usually found in the lairs of ice-type monsters in some perennially icy regions.) ）

"Uh, well! It seems that the ice troll's lair must be broken into. Jack grinned silently, speechless at the bad taste of his mentor.

This trip was both a mission and an experience.

Therefore, before setting off, the mentor had already explained that cheating tools like Hellfire should never be used until life and death, so the only thing that could help him on this trip was the fairly reliable magic equipment on his body and the experienced "Bobcat" mercenary team around him.

You must know that the Ice Troll is a powerful ice-type demonic beast, and its fierce body alone is enough to compete with the mercenary team in front of him, not to mention the first- and second-order ice spells that are innate and instinctive. A combination of a powerful warrior and a half-hung ice method like this is not a fully prepared team, and there is no cheap one to find in them.

For this kind of monster with a challenge level of 9, with the average strength of the Bobcat mercenary team of about level 6, without some additional assistance, I'm afraid that if you go, you will just send food to the other party.

However, after analyzing the strength of friend and foe, Jack found that it was not completely impossible.

At the very least, ice trolls can only be regarded as semi-social creatures, often living together as a family unit, and the number is roughly less than 1, basically 1 male ice troll plus 2-3 females and a group of cubs.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Otherwise, if such a powerful guy lives together in the form of a village or a clan, I'm afraid Jack will have to go home as soon as possible.

Ice trolls usually live in the extreme cold of the deep mountains of the Firas Mountains, and rarely make it to the outskirts of the mountains, but they will also expand their hunting range during the winter when the mountains are covered with heavy snow.

Fully understanding the living habits of the ice trolls, Jack and the ranger named Old John carefully inquired about the combat habits of the ice trolls, and took advantage of the opportunity to camp at night, he rushed to make a few magic scrolls that "endure elemental damage" overnight.

Although the mercenary team had prepared for such a magic scroll before setting off, if they really wanted to deal with ice trolls, of course, the more the better. In particular, a few mercenary members of the melee department, if they left the frozen resistance blessed by the scroll, I am afraid it would be difficult to withstand the strong assault of the ice trolls.

The team spent a few days on the road, and only then did they get close to the range of the ice trolls.
