Chapter Seventy-Four: The Demon Sorcerer
Walking through the endless rice fields, the cold wind coming from afar looks extremely frightening.
The sky is always black, and if you choose to look down on the earth, you can see the terrifying scarlet through the black soil.
This is the Scarlet Wasteland.
Marven was alone and quickly walked out of the edge of the rice field.
He now had in his head a simple map of Eisengar and the terrain to the northeast.
In Eisenger, no one can get something for nothing, and Marven, as a newcomer, wants to get a complete map, naturally, it is impossible.
He had to complete the mission of the camp.
In order to seize the time, after some consideration, he chose a task with a high degree of difficulty.
The reason why this task is quite difficult is because this task was put on the bulletin board two weeks ago, but after two weeks, no one has completed it.
And most of the people in the camp weren't interested in this quest, even if it cost as much as 30 Bloodstones.
Marven reached an agreement after consulting with the manager who released the task, adding an Eisengeer standard starter kit on the basis of the 30 Blood Essence Stones.
Generally speaking, new members of the camp will have some discounts on completing tasks.
Marvin only needs to complete a Novice Patrol mission to get a full Starter Kit.
The kit includes the following three items: two maps, a large map of the Scarlet Wasteland and a minimap near Eisenger; A teleportation scroll that can teleport back to Eisengar in an instant within two hundred miles; There's also a microcloak that's said to help you hide your aura.
The novice patrol mission is relatively simple, and they are all wandering around the hinterland of Eisenger. It's just a little longer, taking two weeks.
Marvin in the Scarlet Wasteland. If you have a maximum of 12 weeks to prepare, how can you waste two weeks on patrol duty?
So he chose the fastest way.
Although this task does seem to be a bit difficult.
……
In the northern part that covers the Eisengar rice fields. It is a mountainous area with undulating heights.
The mountainous terrain is rugged, and there are a large number of space-time rifts and void vortices all over the sky, and if you want to fly over this mountainous terrain, you will most likely be sucked into the cracks and vortices, and eventually get lost in some corner of the universe.
So the people of the Scarlet Wasteland carved a path.
The name of this road is "Dry Leaf Corridor".
From the map, the Dry Leaf Promenade connects Eisengar with the Black Swan Hill in the north, and is an important channel for communication between Eisenger and the outside world.
However, in recent times, a lot of monsters have appeared in the Dead Leaf Corridor.
These monsters are not naturally formed in the Scarlet Wasteland.
The natives here are familiar with the naturally occurring monsters of the Scarlet Wastes - including a large number of shriveled zombies, scarlet golems, trolls, and more.
But this time, in the group of monsters roaming the corridor of dead leaves, the shadows of the Abomination and the Road Demon appeared.
Initially, a patrol team discovered this anomaly while completing a patrol mission. They recorded it and told the camp.
Then there's the in-depth investigation.
The camp sent two of its most powerful scouts to investigate the black hands behind these monsters - Abomination and Road Demons would not appear out of thin air.
Soon, the answer was revealed.
A third of the way from the Dry Leaf Promenade to the Black Swan Hill, there is a small canyon.
Originally, the canyon was empty, but now in the canyon, an altar has been built out of thin air.
The owner of the altar was called Balkh. It's not a first name, it's a last name.
If Marven remembers correctly, the [Tyrannical King] of the Abyss has the surname Balkh. He is one of the most powerful lords of the Abyss.
And this altar owner, Balkh. Even if it's not his son, he has a lot to do with the tyrannical king.
Otherwise he would not have dared to use Balkh as his surname.
Scout Scouts understood that the Road Demons and the Abominations that roamed the Dry Leaf Corridor had been summoned by Balkh from the altar.
He seems to be experimenting with some kind of mysterious magic.
As a great demon. Balkh possesses unrivaled spell-like abilities; And he himself specializes in abyss witchcraft, and his strength is much higher than that of ordinary legendary wizards.
As we all know, because of the physique. Demons practice witchcraft more easily than other creatures.
Because the source of the magic of chaos comes from the abyss. Demons and magic are themselves tendency.
Both sides also met the rule of chaos and madness.
It's just that there is a serious shortage of highly intelligent people among the demons. Most of them are accustomed to sabotage, solving problems by force, and IQ does not come in handy many times.
As a result, most demons rely on their own talents to use some spell-like abilities.
There are very few true demon wizards.
And Balkh, is one of them.
……
"The camp had sent two top Assassins to assassinate Balkh - including a level 4 ace Assassin ......"
"But they all failed. This is enough to show that Balkh is very vigilant. This is normal. In a place like the Scarlet Wasteland, even a demonic wizard wouldn't dare to let his guard down. ”
"The intel shows that Balkh has a magic dragon, and this magic dragon is invisible, protecting him and absorbing damage for him."
"The reason why the previous two Assassins didn't succeed was because they were blocked by Balkh's magic dragon. And once the assassin's first attack is blocked by the wizard, then the assassin who will fight will have no power to fight back with countless instantaneous magic. ”
Marven walked quietly while thinking about countermeasures.
Balkh the Demon Wizard is not an easy character to deal with, as he has understood since the moment he took on the mission.
However, Marven, who is a master of the arts, still wants to try it.
This time, he chose a different approach than the other Assassins.
The rest of the people quietly lurked past, ignoring all the monsters, and went straight to Balkh himself.
But Marven decided to kill all the way!
He didn't want to let go of any of these monsters on the dry leaf corridor.
A staggering shadow appeared ahead.
He was covered in black gas, and his hands and feet were shackled.
The shackles themselves are magical, and it is unknown who hit them.
The Abomination.
One of Balkh's summons.
Marven sighed lightly and silently entered the stealth state.
Light and skillful footsteps, fast and unobtrusive, the abomination did not even realize Marven's presence.
And in the next second, Marven glanced at a column on the data panel and instantly turned on a skill.
Sou!
The light of the Aoba knife flashed, and the silent sneak attack quietly unfolded......
