By horse-drawn carriage, Raven Ridge is about a day and a half away from Morningmist Town, which is said to have been the royal tomb of a kingdom 10,000 years ago.

This rumor attracted a large number of adventurers, but none of them found the treasure from it, and became rich overnight, but instead became a ghoul's lunch.

Two thousand years ago, the Orc Southern Legion joined forces with the troll tribe that emerged from the Dragon's Hills to invade Frankfurt, only to be crushed by the majestic King Frankfurt VI in the West.

In this battle, the total number of soldiers killed on both sides exceeded 1 million, and the corpses were covered with Sequoia County, and the blood that flowed turned the land into a swamp.

The ghosts hovered in the sky all day long, and for months in a row, the inhabitants of the western frontier did not see the sun.

In order to avoid the plague after the war, the sixth let the soldiers collect the corpses, all of them were thrown to the Raven Ridge, and at first they were burned, but there were countless corpses, and with the departure of the king, the generals who dealt with the aftermath began to deal with it passively, and the corpses were hastily disposed of.

There are too many people who have died, and there are some souls that have not died out, and have gone through endless years, gradually absorbing magical energy, and naturally evolved into undead creatures.

For the safety of the border residents, the king once sent paladins and priests to crusade against Raven Ridge until it was no longer a threat, but even so, people still avoided Raven Ridge like a snake and scorpion, and never set a step.

"Kerosene lamps, candles, fishing line, five days' worth of food, water, ......" Downton counted the items needed for the expedition, and after making sure that they were correct, he packed them into a cowhide backpack.

"You also need first-aid potions, sophisticated-level weapons, and it would be even better if you had a magic accessory to defend yourself!"

Although he had prepared with all his heart, Downton still sighed when he looked at the shabby outfit, he was too poor to afford it.

"Maybe this expedition was a bad decision. ”

Downton sat down at the round table under the window, and by the dim light of a kerosene lamp, he took a quill pen, dipped it in ink, and laid out on paper the precautions of the line, which, by any calculation, were more than sixty percent dangerous.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the skin, slightly cool.

"Should quit!"

As soon as this thought came to mind, Downton shook his head and threw it away, without a job as a postman, he needed a new source of salary, otherwise he would not be able to make up for his sister's tuition.

In order to dispel distractions, Downton opened the newly purchased codex, those beautiful words, and those sonnets about the story of the law, which made people happy, and the fluctuating mood gradually calmed down.

"If you become a magician, the danger factor will be much less!"

Downton rested his elbows on the round table, resting his chin in one hand, looking at the bright starry sky, full of longing for the future.

If you enter the soul level, not to mention natural ability, just by practicing powerful martial arts and magic, you can improve your own strength, reaching the point of ten people and a hundred people.

Looking at the starry night and enjoying the moonlight as warm as water, Downton's mood was calm, and he unconsciously entered a meditative state.

If you want to absorb magic energy, you must enter a meditative state, ordinary people are impetuous, cranky, and can't calm down at all, although you can occasionally enter, but the magic energy required for promotion is too huge, and this handful of times is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

The depth of the meditative state determines the speed at which the magic energy is absorbed, and Downton is now practicing the vortex meditation method taught by his sister.

Usually Downton can only enter shallow meditation, but now, he has actually broken through the boundary and entered a mid-level meditation state.

In the bright moonlight, the magical energy in the hut was like a stream in the forest, gathering faster and faster, seeping into Downton's body.

The concentration of magic energy increases, and even occasionally bursts into starlight spots.

Downton is like a whirlpool, greedily sucking out magical energy.

Downton, who entered a meditative state, did not notice it, the Codex was resonated by the soul fluctuations, and three mottled points of light overflowed from the pages, like fireflies, emitting a warm light, they were like magnets, drawing more magic energy from all around.

Bang, bang, bang, the sudden loud knock on the door startled Downton, and he withdrew from his meditative state, his right hand shook, and the quill pen he held made an ink mark on the page.

"What's the matter?"

Watching the ink cut through the sonnet, like an ugly scar lying on the face of a beauty, Downton was distressed to death.

"What are you doing? You're half an hour late, and if I hadn't pleaded, Robinson would have left early. Durham was puzzled, Downton had always been punctual and would never make such a mistake.

"What?" Downton looked at the old mechanical clock on the table, he remembered that it was nine o'clock after finishing his belongings, but now, it was half past twelve in the morning.

"Impossible, I actually meditated for more than three hours?"

Downton looked shocked, and even forgot to open the door for Duren, in the past, he meditated, he insisted on forty minutes at most, and he would quit in a mess, but this was already in the top ten among the young people in Morning Mist Town, but now, it was actually extended by nearly eight times.

The extension of the meditation time is not a simple addition, because after the magician causes the magic energy to fluctuate and resonate through meditation, it takes time for the magic energy to gather from all around, so with the passage of meditation time, the magic energy absorbed per unit of time is constantly increasing.

Of course, there is an upper limit of concentration, and once saturation is reached, there is no change.

"Open the door, are you alright?"

"It's okay!" Downton got up, walked a few steps, and found that his body was full of energy and energy, and it seemed that he could not use enough liliang.

Opened the door and let Durham in, and Downton turned and walked to the window with a pensive expression, trying to grasp the wonderful feeling and figure out the reason for the prolongation of the meditation.

Durham wanted to complain, but when he saw Downton's demeanor, he immediately closed his mouth, he knew that his friend must be thinking about something important.

"Why, enjoy the poetry, look at the starry sky......" Downton recalled the details before the meditation, and looked at the Codex, there was not a single fluctuation of magic energy on it, it should not be magic equipment.

"Okay, Robinson must be in a hurry!" Durham looked at the clock, and couldn't help it.

"Sorry, let's go. Downton plunged his quill into the inkwell, and was about to close the Codex, when he was suddenly stunned, and the ugly ink mark that he had accidentally scratched disappeared as if it had never appeared.

"What's wrong?" Durham said, lifting Downton's rucksack, "Hurry up, Robinson can't wait." ”

"Hmm!" Downton picked up his dagger, tucked it into his boot, and walked out of the room, but as he locked the door, he couldn't help but glance at the Codex.

"No, I need to figure it out as soon as possible!" Downton ran back, stuffing the tome and inkwell into his backpack.

Downton and Duren ran to the south street entrance of Morning Mist Town, and before they could daoqian, a young man with pimples was scolded for slashing his head and covering his face.

"You think you're the uncle, let us wait so long?"

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Downton didn't argue.

"Forget it, it's not too early, let's get in the car and let's go!" Robinson stopped Tony, who was about to scold again, and urged everyone.

Nearby, a carriage drawn by two Orleans highland horses, the roof of which was piled high with supplies and tied with thick ropes.

"Master, get in the car!" Kiel opened the door, bent slightly, and respectfully invited Robinson to board the car.

The slightly hunchbacked middle-aged man was Robinson's servant and coachman, and in addition to that, there was a tall and strong man, Pire, who carried a Viking heavy sword and exuded a tough-guy air in his gestures.

"Why are you here?" Downton was a little stunned when he saw Will there.

"I want to make some extra money!"

According to Ballmer's character, Will knew that he would definitely be expelled, so he thought about it for an afternoon, and in the evening, he found Robinson and asked to join the group.

If he performs better, maybe he can continue to work with Robinson, after all, he is a famous young businessman in Morningmist Town, and many young people are striving for him.

"Stop talking nonsense, get in the car!" Tony dug his nostrils and shoved Will.

With the night breeze blowing and the crisp sound of horses' hooves, the carriage drove out of the town and set out on its way to Raven Ridge.

"Robinson, you really don't want to die in order to get rich, and you dare to go to Raven Ridge!" Tony was a chatterboxer, chewing a smoked sausage and teasing indistinctly.

"No way, there is no free lunch in this world, if you want to get rich, you have to take risks!" Robinson closed his eyes.

Millions of corpses, 10,000 years of time, so that the crow ridge has formed a kind of dead ecological environment, which is very suitable for undead creatures and plants to inhabit, some of which are animals and plants, are materials for making all kinds of magic potions, and sell them to pharmacists, which can make a lot of money.

Every year, a few adventurers who are not afraid of death enter Raven Ridge, but most are unlucky enough to become a ghoul's lunch.

"What are you doing with these two who aren't magicians?" Thor sneered at Downton, his mouth covered with crumbs.

"You have to give a chance to a young man with a dream!" Robinson grinned, showing his white teeth, and it was so sunny that people couldn't help but shout out loud.

"Xiexie, boss!" Will was grateful and began to change his words.

Robinson nodded, but there was a secret sigh in his heart, with these two people, they were actually used as bait.

Even if they are soul first-order magicians, their physical fitness is somewhat higher than those ordinary soldiers who have been trained for a long time, so once they encounter danger and flee for their lives, these two teenagers will inevitably fall behind the back of the line, which will naturally attract the attention of the chasing ghouls.

Downton didn't eagerly observe the companions in the carriage, there was still a day's journey, and there was time, after all, everyone was just in contact now, they were watching each other, and their vigilance was kept at the highest, and the look at them would cause unhappiness among others, and then lead to conflicts, and Downton had more important things to do.

After lighting a candle, Downton took out the Codex and looked through it.

Robinson glanced at it, and lost interest, as an experienced businessman, his eyes were very vicious, and the book did not fluctuate at all, it was very ordinary.

After carefully flipping through the pages and finding nothing unusual, Downton hesitated, but took out the quill and, after dipping it in ink, drew a stroke in the upper margin of the page.

Ten minutes without any changes!

Downton frowned, and this time wrote a few words casually.

An hour had passed, and nothing had changed, and Downton began to doubt his own judgment.

"Am I wrong?" Downton wanted to give up, but he was not reconciled, if he found a way to extend the meditation time, then he could quickly enter the soul level.

"Try again!"

Downton was furious, and this time he was going to write a few more words, so he began to write a lyric poem in Shakespearean style.

"Commoners, you're enough, write again, I'm going to get angry!"

On the page, a line of elegant and chic font suddenly appeared, breaking into Downton's sight.
