Elune is a world of high magic, that is, a world of magical phenomena and magical creatures. However, even in the High Magic World, the number of spellcasters is still small. Compared to the total population, the caster is a "rare species".

What happens when two "rare animals" live in the same town?

There may be many answers. But it all boils down to cooperating and devouring each other.

- What is the name of this captive, this dragon vein warlock?

Fang Qiuling thought about it and didn't remember.

- Cut, this guy is really miserable, and he doesn't even let the player remember his name.

The captive must have been living in Lakesprings for more than a decade, and the corpse collector Les Pokelt must have been for more than a decade. So these two guys must have been in collusion for a long time. The Dragonvein Warlock wanted to find a way to regain his strength as quickly as possible so that he could escape from the hands of the Deharus family during the next "squeeze". In the process of studying spells, corpse collectors need experience, comparison, and reference, and the mention from a gold-level powerhouse is undoubtedly the best help. One person and one lizard must be a hit and drop.

The thing under your feet is a small piece of scale. Fang Qiuling bent down and picked up the scales.

Pat off the black ash on the scales, and wipe it a few times, revealing a beautiful red luster.

"Mr. Norn, what have you discovered? What is this? ”

"Dragon scales."

Fang Qiuling casually handed the things in his hand to the male paladin who followed the sound.

"Dragon scales?" The male paladin took the red lustrous scales, "How did the dragon scales appear here?" Was the wooden house burned by dragon fire? ”

I have to say that this person's reaction is very fast, and his brain hole is not small.

"Dragonfire? The dragon fire sprayed, not to mention this wooden house, the rest of the piece is gone. Definitely not. Fang Qiuling shook his head, "However, if the Dragon Vein Warlock's flame spell is also called 'Dragon Fire', this is possible. ”

"Dragon Vein Warlock? What is it? ”

The scales reached Lily's hand, and Lily flipped it a few times and passed it back casually.

"A dragon sorcerer is a dragon sorcerer, what is it?" Fang Qiuling was a little strange, but he still explained, "It's a warlock with a meager dragon bloodline. If you can fully activate the hidden power in the bloodline, then the body can be 'dragonized', and it is impossible to transform into a dragon, but a half-dragon person should be able to. ”

"What is a warlock? A kind of wizard? ”

Lily asked again.

Fang Qiuling turned his head and glanced at Lily slightly speechlessly. This paladin of Eros does not even know what a warlock is. Just by what she just said, the warlock wouldn't give her a good look. You must know that the battle between wizards and warlocks has a long history, from the initial verbal argument to the current full-fledged martial arts, which has lasted for countless centuries.

"Warlocks and wizards are completely different. Wizards improve their own strength by mastering magic through continuous learning, while warlocks are born to cast spells and gain power by activating the bloodlines in their bodies. ”

"Oh, that's what the Wizard of Destiny means, why is it so complicated?"

Lily understood, and choked back. Fang Qiuling raised his eyebrows slightly, there was no interface.

The natives of Elune often refer to warlocks as Manifest Wizards – wizards who are born to cast spells. The spells cast by wizards and warlocks are very similar, and there is a high degree of overlap between the two in the list of standard spells compiled by academic wizards. Moreover, many warlocks will also enter the wizard's tower to study, so it is basically difficult for others to tell whether this is a warlock or a wizard except for the wizard and the warlock himself.

If you can pick up a small scale on the ground, and it is a scale with a high degree of "dragonization", then this captive who is not very peaceful must have been here, and most likely has fought people near this position. The result of the battle was mostly defeat.

For the Dragon-Vein Warlock, the scales with a high degree of "dragonization" are precious, and each piece contains natural magical power, which can not only increase their own defense, but also significantly increase Mana's affinity. Even if it falls off naturally, it will be carefully put away, because it can also be used to make magic items. This kind of magic material that comes from itself is undoubtedly the best adaptation to itself, and is more suitable for itself than other magic materials.

The dragon scales were passed around, and then returned to Fang Qiuling's hands, and he casually put them into the storage bag.

I don't even want such a scale, this captive should basically be more than lucky. The flames that burned down the wooden house were most likely his "final blow".

Fang Qiuling circled around the burned cabin a few times, and soon returned to the position where he had just picked up the scales and stood still again.

Looking around, the door to the chapel is faintly visible from this location, not far from the entrance to the temple's living quarters.

He narrowed his eyes, then stretched his arms forward, the edge of his palm overlapping the edge of the burnt wooden house not far away. The angle at which the arms are opened is not at right angles, and it feels less than half of the right angles. That is, less than forty-five degrees.

Within the stretch of the arm, a new discovery was made immediately. The dirt in front of the position is dry, while the dirt behind it remains wet. Considering that it has been snowing intermittently all day today, wetness should be normal. For now, at a slight distance, the color of the soil is noticeably different. At a distance of about ten meters, centered on a point, the soil remained moist, and there were faint traces of radioactive impact around it.

It's just that the light of the torch is not very clear, Fang Qiuling snapped his fingers, and then a ball of light appeared in front of him. With a slight push, the ball of light landed straight down where the dirt was kept wet.

With a brighter light source, more subtle marks in front of the hut come into view—an arc-shaped curve. On one side of the curve is dry dirt with visible scorch marks in many places, while the other side is still moist with some green weeds and moss.

It should be the elemental transformation of the Ice Pick Technique, the Fire Cone Technique.

Icepick is a plastic spell that is at the fifth level of the Wizards of the Academy's spell rating, a frozen spell that radiates in a cone shape and has a standard attack range of eighteen to twenty meters, usually at an angle of no more than ninety degrees. The Fire Cone is the flame version of the Ice Pick, which is basically the same except that it converts the damage from Frozen to Flame, and the Freezing Effect of the slow effect to Flame Burn.

From where Fang Qiuling was currently standing to the arc curve, it was almost ten meters. From the position of the curved curve to the front of the wooden house at the back, it looks like three to four meters. The hut is small, about five meters long and five meters wide. It's right within the range of Fire Cone Technique. In particular, the distance between the standing place and the arc curve is about ten meters, which is the most powerful position of the Fire Cone Technique, which is commonly known as the best attack distance.

As for the curved curve, if nothing else, it should be a defensive spell. It is impossible to tell which defensive spell it is, but it may be a flame shield, but it may also be a more advanced elemental shield.

The Fire Cone Technique shot out from Fang Qiuling's current location, and the attacker immediately opened a defensive spell. The defensive spell perfectly protected the attacker, but due to the relatively wide attack range of the Fire Cone Technique, the wooden house behind the attacker was burned. The Fire Cone Technique does not have the explosive effect of the Fireball Technique, and is a spell that directly kills with high-temperature flames. As a result, the hut was hit and immediately set on fire, but because the fire cone technique was much higher than the temperature of a normal flame, the burning lasted only a few seconds before being extinguished by the rapid consumption of oxygen in the surroundings. Therefore, there are still some unburned remnants of the wooden house in front of you.

The one who unleashed the Fire Cone was undoubtedly the restless captive. This guy is a Red Dragon Dragon Vein Warlock, known for his powerful fire control, and the Fire Cone Technique is completely in line with this guy's character. Add to that the scales you picked up on the ground, and you shouldn't be wrong.

But the one who was attacked by the Fire Cone Technique...... Its identity could not be fully confirmed. It is highly likely that Brother Charlton lived, as the chalet was the residence of Brother Charlton, and there are so many coincidences.

The surroundings were quiet again, except for the "crackling" of torches.

Fang Qiuling, who was thinking about it, suddenly felt that there were many eyes on him. When I looked up, I was surprised to see that everyone's eyes were focused on me.

"You ......"

"Mr. Norn, did you find something?"

Ms. Moghley unconsciously used honorifics. She had seen Fang Qiuling's thoughtful expression when she was in Lianhe Fort, and then she saw Fang Qiuling's extremely profound knowledge and unbridled conjectures.

- Make bold assumptions and carefully verify.

This sentence was firmly nailed to her heart.

"Well, there's something to discover. But ......"

The news that the Dragon Vein Warlock is in Lakespring Town should be considered a secret. Except for the Fourth Plague, where the player is running around, the only people who know about it are the Deharus family. It is certainly not a glorious thing to draw blood to refine medicine or something, and the people of the Diharus family definitely don't want this matter to be spread and known to everyone.

And most of this restless guy is already finished, and there is no way to provide the raw materials for the blood soul potion. Such a stable "supplier" of raw materials is gone, and the people of the Earl's family will definitely track it down. When I found out, I found out that a little nobleman from other places knew about this-said, did you let him go!

Isn't that shooting yourself in the foot? Surely this should not attract the wrath of the Deharus family. Although the nobles of Serradia nicknamed Count DeHarus "Old Groom", Count DeHarus was an out-and-out nobleman in the Mist Lake, and it was too humble to say that he was covering the sky or something. Annoyed him, Fang Qiuling estimated that he was going to be cold directly.

But if you don't talk about this, what do you say to send away these few tin cans around? Familiar, but now that the temple is in trouble, the paladin will definitely not let go of any clues.

Fang Qiuling walked around the wooden house a few more times. On the one hand, I am thinking about countermeasures, and on the other hand, I hope to find something more.

- Give an explanation first, and then fool the past.

"Mr. Norne? Mr. Norn? ”

"Shh......h

Fang Qiuling made a quiet gesture.

After a few laps, I really found something. However, it was not a clue about Brother Charlton or the Red Dragon Dragon Warlock, but how familiar this place looked. It seems to be ......

Kicking open the fallen door beam, Fang Qiuling walked into the wooden house where there was almost nothing left. Although most of the wooden house was burned down, the structure is simple and there are not many furnishings inside, so you can roughly guess what kind of furniture is placed inside.

a wooden bed, presumably covered with thatch, burned so that only four feet remained; There was a low cabinet beside the bed, most of which was missing, and it was empty; There was a small table next to the bedside table, and there was a chair next to the table, and the chair was basically intact, and the table was completely unrecognizable. There is no other furniture. Ascetic, having a bed or something is already a luxury.

If this is the place, it should be in the ......

Fang Qiuling stepped on the floor a few times, feeling that it was not right, and then changed positions and stepped on it a few more times.

The floor beneath his feet was blackened by the flames, and the light was not very good, so it took several different positions to find it. The sound underfoot was equally muffled, but it felt empty.

Looking around, a blackened, but uncollapsed wall came into view.

"There's a secret passage here!"

Without Fang Qiuling's prompt, Ms. Mogree discovered the problem as soon as possible.

If it weren't for the silence of the night, it would have been difficult to tell that this floor was different from other places. And it's where Brother Charlton lived, so who wanted to tap dance here?

Fang Qiuling lightly kicked the wall that had not collapsed. The tactile feedback on the tiptoes told him that this part of the wall was not wooden, but solid masonry.

Looking before the wall, a movable stone slab was turned out. Flipping over the slate, an iron handle nailed to the ground appeared under the slab.

"This should be the mechanism to open the tunnel, right?"

Fang Qiuling's tone was a little uncertain, but in fact, he was very sure that this was the mechanism that opened the tunnel. Because that's one of the entrances to the underpass!

Underneath Lakesprings is a small but complex underground passage. It is unknown when this underground passage was built, but if you want to trace it back to the previous era of the dwarve-sea conflict. However, the last time it was repaired was very clearly recorded, after the Battle of the Sages more than 300 years ago.

The first Lord of the Misty Lake chose Lakespring Town as the location of the Lord's Mansion, and secretly repaired part of the underground passageway, mainly from the Lord's Mansion, which is now the town center office, to an unknown corner outside the town. As for the use, does it need to be said?

However, due to military needs, the Lord's Mansion was moved to Wuxi Town. The underground passage built is probably abandoned.

There are currently a total of eight entrances and exits in the town that can enter and exit the underground passages, and four of them are commonly used by players, and most of them are concentrated near the adventurer's union. The other four entrances and exits are heavily guarded or restricted, and are infrequently used entrances and exits. The entrance in front of you is inside the temple and is usually only available to Cleric and Paladin players, and is one of the four entrances that are not commonly used.

"Lady Moghray, do you know where this secret passage leads?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Norn. It's also the first time I've known that there's a secret passage here. ”

"Uh...... Then it's better for you to open it, and I won't overstep the bounds. Fang Qiuling took the initiative to retreat and stay away, and then added, "Be careful, in case there is something like that." ”
