Chapter 12: Dynastic Relics (II)

There was also a reason why Salin did not speak, he found that his accent was obvious, and if he was from the northern coast, he could immediately tell that he was from the generation of Ceylon City. If you talk too much, you will lose, and if you communicate with these people too much, you will inevitably reveal flaws. In case the other party has a wanted warrant in his hand, it won't take long to find out his true identity.

The smug Sika had an easier time getting information than him, and after a few days of getting along, Saleen already knew his ultimate goal this time. It is a relic of the Second Dynasty.

Before the fall of the goddess of nature, the continent of Myers had been unified by humans four times. The Second Dynasty is now nearly 20,000 years away, a time of extraordinary magic glory, but not many relics have survived. Every time the continent is unified, the flames of war will destroy many traces of civilization.

Each of the magic props of the Second Dynasty era is a fine product, and there is no less than 10,000 gold coins when you take it out. No matter how small the ruins are, if they are related to magicians, they are enough to make this team rich.

If you're lucky, everyone in this team can get more than 100,000 gold coins, retire from now on, go back to your hometown to build a castle, buy a knighthood, and never have to live a life of swords and swords again. As for Salin, this money is enough for him to persist until he becomes a fourth-level magician and goes to the Qin Yin Empire to cultivate with peace of mind. Sika was able to buy enough equipment and food to go back to the village to help his people. Maybe the gold coins will create a new powerful clan, or even the people of this village will be favored by a certain principality.

In this world, power alone is not enough, there must also be money. The Skochenians have long understood this truth, so they have the most merchant houses in the continent, the largest banks, and the most popular mercenary system.

The richest man in this empire was His Majesty the Emperor, who was the richest man on the continent, even if all peasants were exempted from taxes.

Hearing that this mission was a relic of the Second Dynasty, Salin also understood why Crimson didn't hire a magician. During the Second Dynasty, the emperors who unified the continent favored magic and did not believe in gods. Its degree of extremism surpassed that of the current Qin Yin Empire. If the Holy See learns of this kind of ruin, it will definitely destroy everything here.

The Second Dynasty, also known as the Blasphemous Dynasty.

Salin didn't care what the magicians believed in 20,000 years ago, he only knew that if he could get the magic items of the Second Dynasty this time, he wouldn't have to travel for a few years.

After walking for six days, it suddenly snowed in the mountains. The snow was so fine that it made the roads muddy. The crowd had to abandon their horses, and the roads here began to be narrow and dangerous, and in many places they were clinging to cliffs, making it impossible for horses to pass through.

Sika carried her and Salin's bags, while Crimson and the others carried their belongings while Pinault and Cook carried them. Sarah, wearing a leather mask, explores the path ahead, and Lucas, the archer, breaks behind. The speed of the group did not slow down, but increased a lot.

Towards evening, a mountain range appeared in front of me. Sarah stopped abruptly and let out two short birdsong chirps.

The whole group quickly hid itself, and soon, Sarah retreated.

"What's going on?"

"I met a vulture. Sarah was wearing a mask, unable to see her expression, her voice clearly worried.

"Have you been discovered?" said Pale Clums, cautious.

"What is a vulture?" asked Sika without any scheming.

Canghong hesitated for a moment, thinking in her heart, anyway, after doing it this time, she can get out of the mercenary group, and it doesn't matter if you don't want the deposit of five thousand gold coins, leak some information, and show enough sincerity to the magician who doesn't know the depth. Thinking of this, he replied, "Vultures are also the code name of a mercenary group, but they rarely take on normal tasks. Like scavenging vultures, this mercenary group will track adventurers who are in danger until they die. In this way, they can gain the wealth of the adventurers without breaking the rules of the professional unions. ”

Salin thought for a moment, and sure enough, except during the war, different mercenary groups are not obliged to help each other. You can't attack another registered mercenary group, but you can stand by and watch their danger.

"What level of mercenary group are vultures?" Salin finally spoke.

"Level four. Sarah, you go on. Crimson was interrupted by Shika and did not say anything about the relationship between the Falcon Mercenaries and the Vultures. He is not afraid of vulture mercenary groups, but this mission, he said that he would not let the vulture people know. It's already winter, and who's still running around in this area, and the vultures are still eyeing it.

"The three vulture squads should all be fully formed. In addition, there should be two groups of people, one of whom is fleeing for their lives, and the other is chasing, and I cannot judge their number. ”

"Can we get around?"

"No, the people who fled for their lives entered the tunnel, and this is the way we have to go. ”

"Damn. "The five people of the Falcon Mercenary Regiment have solemn faces, it is not possible to wait here, the winter of the chaotic swamp is extremely dangerous, and the hungry high-level demonic beasts are even more terrifying.

"Master Merlin, do you have any good ideas?" asked Salin, turning her head to Crimson.

"Map. Saleen's answer was very brief.

Pale Red had some flesh pain, cleared out a piece of ground, took out the map, and spread it out. It was a detailed map of the Swamp of Chaos, and Pale Red pointed to the lower left corner, "This is the tunnel we are going through, I found it."

Salin smiled slightly, he cast a memory magic, this is a level 0 casteless magic, as long as the mental power is enough, you can use it. After writing down the map, Saleen calculated the length of the tunnel.

It was about twelve miles long, and Salin hesitated, "If you encounter these people, how sure are you of winning?"

"I'm just not sure it's all annihilated. Seeing that Salin understood what he meant, Canghong did not hide the murderous intent in his heart. Saleen and Schika wouldn't make a big deal about the mission, but they weren't to let anyone familiar know about it anyway.

"What is the configuration of the Vulture Mercenary Regiment's squad?" Salin carefully recalled the mercenary manual that he had memorized with his memory magic, searching for the crux of the problem in his mind.

"Five-two configurations, heavily armored swordsmen, archers, assassins, spear swordsmen, and magicians. ”

"No magician?"

Pale Red smiled wryly and did not answer the question. He thought to himself, magicians are not potatoes, they can be dug out of the ground casually, and the scale of the Falcon Mercenary Group where he belongs is only three magicians with a thousand people, and the highest level is level three.

"I can cast a fog of bewilderment with a radius of thirty meters and it can last for two hours. We'll pass at a normal speed, and inside the tunnel, I'll add a fluorescent technique, so you can have a visual range of about 10 meters and won't be detected by the enemy. Of course, it would be difficult to say if the other party had a magician. ”

"Fluorescent?" Crimson had never heard of this spell, but she had often heard of illumination.

"It's a level 0 water magic, and the light created is very dim, which is suitable for the concealment of caves, underwater and other light environments. However, I can't guarantee 100% concealment, and if someone finds out, you're in charge of the other party's archers, and I'm sure I'll be sure to eliminate the Assassins. Salin said calmly, in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart. After all, he has very little combat experience, and his only reliance is that it is said that the other party will not have a magician.

As long as you don't encounter a mage, it is easy to kill two assassins in the case of a sneak attack.

Pale Red was overjoyed, he was worried that the assassins on the other side would run away in the conflict, in the dark cave, the assassins who were good at concealment were the most troublesome things, fortunately he hired a magician, otherwise it would be a dilemma now.

"Then go in. Master Merlin, please prepare for magic. Lucas, you and I go to the front, Schika, trouble you and Sarah in the back. Cook, you protect Mage Merlin, this time it is up to the mage to pass, and anyone who tries to get close to the mage, you will kill it, don't worry. ”

Crimson deliberately reminded Cook that after all, they might meet acquaintances, and if they hesitated, the magician would be in danger. In the Falcon Mercenary Regiment, only important tasks will be used by magicians, and they usually spend money to raise them. Everyone has become accustomed to protecting mages, and seeing them as the heart of the battle.

Salin did not object, his invisible shield was constant on the magic robe, and it would take a second to release it at the earliest, and it would never reach the level of instantaneousness.

Instantaneous, that is, a spell can be prepared, released, and completed in the shortest amount of time. This speed is generally thirtieth of a second, which is several times faster than the sword qi released.

The mage will not have a second instantaneous defensive magic until the fourth level, the Ice Pattern Armor. Before that, it was the wind-based invisible shield that started with the most defense, and then it stacked with slightly slower skin petrification or a less stable ring of flames. Salin's unpopular Waterripple Shield hadn't yet been studied, and its release was slower than constant magic.

As it got dark, Salin began to prepare for the magic, the mist of confusion was a level 0 water magic, he practiced very little, and it only took three seconds to release it. With him as the center, a gray mist spread in all directions, and soon expanded to a radius of fifty meters in diameter.

After the magic was completed and stabilized, Salin began to prepare the second magic, the level 0 fluorescence technique. He is also helpless to learn this magic, he can't learn the lighting technique of the light system and the flame technique of the fire system, and the dark vision is a big magic above level six, and it is even more distant for him, so he has to find this unpopular magic to deal with.

Fortunately, fluorescence has the advantage of illumination, although it is dark, it will hardly cause any magic fluctuations, and it will not arouse the alarm of others.

When the gray mist spread, the hearts of the Falcon Mercenary Group were all raised to their throats. Because their vision was almost instantaneous, not only could they not see, but they could not hear the breathing of Saleen and Schika.

Only when the sword qi was in operation could everyone vaguely feel the existence of these two people. However, Cang Hong and the others are all senior mercenaries, who have dealt with magicians, and know that what they feel may not be true. If the young mage were to attack at this time, in this fog, only an area attack would make a little sense.

Salin himself was not confused by the fog, he clearly saw the expressions of the five members of the Falcon Mercenary Group, and smiled secretly in his heart. Lao Tzu just wants to give you a dismount, so that you don't have to turn your face after the task is successful.
