Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Unlucky Mage (I)
"Let's keep going, we can walk one less day through the two hundred miles of mountains ahead. Rex took the magic map, looked for the current coordinates, and zoomed in on the graphics on the map.
"There's a village here?"
"Maybe there is, maybe it's gone, this is the territory of the Kokang people. ”
"It's better to get around. "Saleen doesn't want to get in trouble. The Kokang people are a brave and warlike mountain people, Qin Yin conquered this land, and did not eliminate the Kokang people, no nobles here are willing to come, even if the rewarded land is big, it also needs to have a life to enjoy.
"It's okay, I'll be bold and say, the people here are good to the mage. And in comparison, they hate cloud flow people even more. ”
Salin was silent, Yunliu's predecessor was the Fourth Dynasty, and the Fourth Dynasty had once carried out massacres in the Kokang Mountains, and he happened to see this matter. More than a thousand years of hatred, I didn't expect the Kokang people to forget it.
Rex marked the map with a detailed route for Salin to write down.
The next thing to check the equipment is that in Dragon's Tooth Town, Saleen has used up a large number of low-level scrolls, and most of the eighth-level magic cores used to build the puppets have also been consumed, and he can no longer support a battle like that.
The mana stored in the Salen Bronze Spellbook has also been depleted, and there is no time to stop and store mana now. Most of his intermediate and advanced scrolls were blank, and Saleen was unable to write them.
If he had time, Saleen could still write a large number of low-level blank scrolls, and now he could only install new cores for the demon hunters, hoping that there would be no high-intensity battles in the next few days.
Rex's loss was relatively large, after the Ring of the HRE was activated, she could no longer use it for a year, and the two magic stored in the magic wand were also used up, and she did not have the ability to store the same magic. Fortunately, she didn't use the Silver Magic Book, and eighteen intermediate magic spells were the strongest abilities she had retained.
Storing magic in a spellbook is easier than writing a scroll, it doesn't take a lot of time, and the main advantage is that there is no success rate.
The disadvantage of the spellbook is also obvious, that is, the magic stored in it must be stored by the user himself, otherwise there is a great possibility that the elements will escape during the release process, making the magic invalid. Salin himself did not yet have the skills to write a silver magic book, and the six intermediate magic spells that the Demon Magic Book now stored became a lifesaver.
Fortunately, neither Shika nor Neris were injured, and Salen did not know that Neris's body had been re-strengthened, eliminating some of the hidden dangers caused by the absorption of chalcedony.
Shika picked up Rex again, and the four of them carefully walked down the hill towards the mountains. There is no road under your feet, the dirt is slippery, and if you change to another team, your speed will be reduced a lot. Salin's team continued to move at a speed of nearly 20 miles per hour, and after crossing several mountain ranges, a huge village appeared in front of the four of them.
Saleen stopped, there was no sound in the village, and at the entrance of the village there was a tower made of wood, and the tower was empty. Looking through the village, Salin saw only crooked wooden houses and potholes.
Not a single one!
"Nellis, go in and have a look. Salin didn't dare to enter lightly, the size of the village looked like there should be at least a hundred households, and now it was quiet, not even a single panting cattle.
Rex's injuries weren't too serious, at least she could still cast magic, but it hurt her ribs, making her feel less like talking, and now it was Saleen commanding the team.
Neris nodded, in fact, she knew that there was no one in the village if she didn't go in. To be exact, there was not a single living life in the entire village. Naris is now an adult, and she is much bolder, even if she encounters a dark mage, she will not suffer too much.
She entered the village, walked around, and then withdrew.
The Kokang villages are simple, the wooden huts off the ground are protected from snakes and insects, they do not engage in large-scale cultivation, and the food is stored together.
"Hosts, nothing. ”
"Nothing?" Salin asked, "What does that mean?"
"It's just nothing, no people, no food, no weapons, no magical beasts, no livestock...... "Nellis's Qin Yin said better and better, and she continued to narrate the same way, but Salin stopped her.
"Is it dangerous?"
"No, it's just a village that has been emptied. ”
Salin nodded, he was overly cautious, this is not the Caucasus, the brave people are brave, but there are no Caucasian priests, and there are few warriors who can reach the level of a swordsman. The priests of the Kokang people have long been killed by the Fourth Dynasty. The only thing to worry about is the poison of the Brave Man, but he is a magician and can detect toxins.
"Let's go take a break. "Saleen is feeling very tired, his nerves have been tense for the past few days, and he is always in danger. One of his arms was also broken, and it would take five to seven days to recover, thanks to the Ichor. The average person has a bone injury and it takes at least three months to recover.
Without having to hurry, Shika put down Rex and said, "You go in, I'll go up to the tower." ”
She carried her stick behind her back and climbed the ladder up the tower with her hands and feet. Instead of going through the door, she climbed through the window. Sika's figure disappeared from the window, and there was a loud crash in the tower.
Then, Shika shouted angrily, something was shattered, and a black shadow flew out and fell to the ground, and Salin kept turning on his cold vision to see that it was a skeleton.
The skeleton slammed to the ground, but Saleen didn't ignore the dim light in its eyes. The Unreal Swamp was immediately released, trapping the skeleton.
Click...... Click...... The skeleton's jaws were closed one by one, struggling to get up, and Sika's voice came from the tower: "Let it not move." ”
The skeleton soon stopped moving, and Schika's head poked out of the tower window and said down to Salin, "I'll catch a guy." ”
"Didn't you say there was no one?" Salin glanced at Neris in exasperation.
Nellis said aggrievedly: "There is no one in the village, this ......"
"And then!" said Shika threw a man out of the window, who danced and screamed in the air. Rex unleashed a restraint, and a thin cord of wind wrapped around the man, placing him lightly on the ground.
The man was unkempt, with holes in one robe and one less shoe on his feet, and he was bound by restraints, and his face happened to be facing Salin and the others. It was a very simple face, like the most honest farmer in Scochenia.
Even the Pope praised that in Scochenia, if a person is willing to farm honestly, this person must have a pure soul.
"Don't kill me, I don't have any money, I'm poor, I ......," the man cried out like a pig. The eyebrows on his square face were heavy, and there were tears in his eyes, how pitiful and pitiful he looked.
Salin stepped forward, looked down at the guy, and asked, "Mr. Necromancer, if you don't have money, how can you have a skeleton of the undead plane?"
The skeleton suddenly jumped up and was about to pounce on Saleen. The white light flashed on Salin's hand, and an ice arrow accurately hit the skeleton's chest, and the skeleton was frozen by the ice arrow, and Salin said, "If it moves again, I will use the ice arrow to break your head." ”
The restrained necromancer didn't dare to mess around, and he realized that Salin was wearing a gray magic robe with two magic marks on it. A fifth-level magician?
This is a misunderstanding on his part, this magic robe was originally Rex's, and Saleen is now only a fourth-level mage.
"Mr. Necromancer, I have to grieve you. Salin beckoned Neris to pick up the necromancer and walk towards the village.
Seeing that Saleen's instantaneous magic was without warning, the necromancer immediately died of resistance. The skeleton that fell to the ground followed the four men, and Sika did not come down from the tower.
Finding a clean wooden house, Rex spread a blanket in the room and sat down to rest. Neris bar, the necromancer threw it on the ground, and the skeleton stood in the doorway, and it didn't attack anyone without the necromancer's orders.
Salin looked at the skeleton for a moment and said, "It's a beautiful winged skeleton, but it's a pity it's missing." Mr. Necromancer, there is no one in this village, did you kill you?"
Necromancers are not dark magicians and do not kill innocents indiscriminately, but they are not very good-tempered, and it is difficult to say what they do when they are angry.
The honest and loyal young necromancer clicked his eyes a few times, feeling that Saleen was not easy to deal with. He looked at Rex, who was meditating, and his heart was indescribably depressed. I just found a quiet place to sleep, and I would be arrested and questioned. Other mages are so respected, why are they so unlucky?Bondage is a simple magic that lasts for a long time, but it needs to be at least two levels higher than the enemy's to be able to last so long.
Damn, two great magicians!
"Mr. Necromancer, I'm the only one here who is gentle, and it's not a good thing for you if you make me lose my patience. ”
"I'm ......" the necromancer thought for a long time, feeling that he shouldn't be angry with the two great magicians. had to answer honestly: "My lord, I'm just a little mage, how dare I blatantly kill people." When I came, it was empty, and I couldn't find a single bone. My lord, do you have anything to eat? I'm going to starve to death. ”
Seeing that his face was sallow and his body was weak, Salin shook his head and said, "It's really a failure for the master to do this, and you don't have anything to eat, unless you speak honestly." Don't tell me you're poor, Necromantic Flames cost millions of gold at the cheapest. ”
The necromancer cried and said, "That's why I've become poor. Otherwise, if I summoned an army of skeletons, I would have become a royal mage long ago, so why bother around. ”
"Skeleton army? It's up to you, don't you and I don't understand anything, unless you can find a stable passage that can open the undead plane at any time. ”
Salin didn't want to embarrass this necromancer, but this necromancer was so angry that he didn't have a word of truth in his mouth. If he had been as honest as Sika, Saleen would have given him a bite of bread.
