Volume 1: Abyss Ritual Chapter 28: Into the Mountain
After choosing a place to live, Grellers and Chen Mo began to tidy up their rooms, after all, they were still two scholars who had come here to study in name.
And just then, the store manager suddenly came up and gave them a map, saying that it was a gift from friendship.
At that time, Graylers and Chen Mo were still surprised, and asked, "What map?"
"A map of the PlzeΕ Mountains. Jinar replied with a look of course.
Hearing this answer, the two of them looked surprised and asked, "Do you also send maps?"
Who knows, Najinar was also surprised: "Don't you know? In this small town of Pilsen, as long as you stay overnight, you will have a map to deliver?"
The two of them couldn't cry or laugh in an instant.
It wasn't until Ginar explained it to them that they knew that the previous "hotel delivery map" was also a gimmick used to deceive people. But fortunately, Jena just came in time, otherwise, if she was cheated by that time, it would be too late to regret it.
Also, it's not a good deal. The main reason is that the first-time travelers here will take the wrong path and die in the mountains.
After all, the Pilsen Mountains are still a place where animal tides often occur.
Here, even on the periphery, it is possible to encounter high-level demonic beasts. If one accidentally walks into the territory of these magical beasts, he may die here.
Of course, this is only for the average person. As for Greiles and Chen Mo, they don't think about this so much, after all, according to their strength, if they really want to encounter difficult ones, they must go deep into the core to be possible.
And this map is for the two of them, so that they can be more efficient when infiltrating and retreating, instead of scurrying around in the woods.
Finally, Jinar also advised: "However, even if you have a map, don't wander around the woods." After all, this map is only a reference at best. β
"Okay, then thank you. Chen Mo thanked him with a smile on his face.
Then he took Grellers back to his room and began to study the map.
It was found that on this map, in addition to the symbols that are often found on the map, there are also three special icons.
They are: a red five-pointed star, an exclamation mark, and a gray question mark.
The five-pointed star marks the location of the small town of PlzeΕ.
The exclamation mark marks some danger areas, and there are three levels, divided into green, orange, and red.
The gray question mark indicates that the place belongs to the "unknown" zone with incomplete information, which takes up almost half of the map.
"It seems that this map is not exhaustive. Chen Mo touched his chin and thought, "I just don't know if there are more details." β
"Shall I ask Genal?" Graylers suggested from the side.
"Hmm. Chen Mo also nodded: "You can ask." β
......
So the two of them walked out of the room again and went downstairs. I saw that Jinar was entertaining this guest at this time.
When Jinar saw the two appear, he greeted them warmly.
"Hello, manager. Chen Mo stepped forward and asked, "I don't know if this map is more detailed." β
"More detailed?" said Ginnar, shaking his head, "due to the peculiarities of this Pilsner Range, the further you go inside, the more difficult it is to survey the terrain. And the more dangerous it is, the more detailed the map is. β
"yes, that's a shame. Chen Mo showed a disappointed expression.
In this way, Jinar also comforted: "It's okay, anyway, as long as you are on the periphery, relying on the map, there will be basically no problem." β
"Hmm. Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, thank you." Then we won't go deeper. β
Then, he left the hotel with Greiles.
However, before leaving, Jinar also instructed again: "Don't go deeper." He also showed a serious expression.
"Okay. β
Chen Mo also gave verbal perfunctory.
After all, this time, what Chen Mo wants to go to is the depths.
After leaving the town, the two also immediately went to disguise.
"This map ......," Grellers began.
I didn't finish the meaning, but the meaning is clear, there is only a peripheral map, and the reference value is really limited.
"What should I do?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment, then took out a bracelet from his carry-on space and put it on his hand.
After that, he took out the map and spread it out on the ground.
Looking at Chen Mo's operation, Graylers asked, "What is this?"
Chen Mo replied: "This is a map recorder. β
Map recorder?Grellers looked puzzled, and it was a new word.
"With this thing, we don't have to hold the map all the time, this map recorder automatically calculates our location and then provides us with information in real time. Now, all we have to do is load this map into the system first. β
Then, I saw Chen Mo hearing and said: "System, record map information." β
Then, I saw that at the bracelet, a laser swept out, reflected on the map, and continued to scan on it.
After about two or three seconds, a mechanical voice was heard: "Scan complete." β
"Alright, got it done. β
Looking at this scene, Graylers was confused: "That's it?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, that's it, let's go." β
Seeing this, Greiles couldn't help but sigh: "This kid, there are so many tricks......"
But I wasn't too surprised in my heart, after all, after getting along for so long, it was not strange to be surprised by this kind of thing.
"What about the map on the earth?"
"Let it be for posterity. Chen Motou said without looking back.
"Okay. "Greiles didn't bother to pick it up. quickly followed Chen Mo.
So, the two of them walked into the forest.
It wasn't until he came to a slightly open place that Chen Mo suddenly waved his hand and signaled to stop first.
Greiles looked at Chen Mo and asked, "What's wrong?"
Just watched Chen Mo press twice on the device on his wrist, a light and shadow flashed, and he saw a virtual map appear in the air.
And where they were, a few big words were flashing: "Map information is missing"
"What's going on?" Grayles wondered, "Could it be that you're breaking this thing?"
"It's not. Chen Mo shook his head.
"Why is that?"
"The flow of magical elements here is not normal, and it seems to interfere with map detection. Chen Mo frowned, checked the equipment in his hand, and said.
"I'll try. β
Seeing this, Grellers also opened his domain, closed his eyes, and began to explore everything around him.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Elemental leyline?!"
"Elemental leyline?" Chen Mo was also surprised. "Why is there there here?"
Grelles frowned and replied, "Not only that, but it doesn't seem to be stable. Source...... It seems to be deep in the mountains?"
"Isn't it right?" Chen Mo thought about it and found something wrong again: "How can there be two unstable points in this area?"
"yes. For a moment, Graylers was also puzzled. Doesn't this anomaly mean that it's in the small town of PlzeΕ?
"Unless ......" Chen Mo seemed to think of something, but he didn't say it directly, but looked at Greles.
And Graylers also reacted, exclaiming: "Unless someone moves the location of the leyline anomaly!"
Moving the leylines is no small task. It involves a lot of professional magic knowledge, and it can only be achieved with a variety of magic arrays. Usually this is done, only some big cities will move the leyline energy to increase the concentration of magic elements in the city, or to power the city defense circle.
And now in the mountains, it is found that someone is moving the leylines here, and the problem is serious.
"Unexpectedly, I originally just planned to come here to explore the terrain, but I had an unexpected gain. Grayles smiled helplessly.
"yes, what can I do. Chen Mo also showed a tangled expression, and then said: "But if you go to inform the church now, then this place will be blocked, and then the rating assessment that Linna has been looking forward to will be canceled." How sad she must have been. β
"Huh?"
Listening to Chen Mo's words, Graylers suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Mozheng looking at him with a cheap smile on his face, and said, "You say, what should I do?" Oh, by the way, it seems that the GraΓ±a will arrive at noon tomorrow. Even if it is reported, it cannot be stopped. Tut-tut, what a mistake. β
Grayles: !! I'm rubbing, something is wrong with you kid?!
And Chen Mo ignored Graylers'-eating expression at this time, and continued: "But if there is any accident during the assessment, oh no, it will be a big problem." β
At this time, Greiles finally came to his senses, it turned out that he was calculated by this kid again?!
immediately rushed forward, grabbed Chen Mo's collar, and said angrily: "You calculate my ?!!"
Chen Mo did not resist, but showed an innocent expression and said. "No, I only came here to help Linna pass the rating assessment. I just called you by the way. β
"You kid, how can there be a truth?" Greiles looked incredulous, so he shook off Chen Mo.
Then at this time, a letter "coincidentally" fell from Chen Mo's body.
Seeing this, Grellers immediately reached out and picked it up, opened it, and did it in one go.
But after reading it, I couldn't get out of my breath at all.
He looked at Chen Mo suspiciously, and said, "The Adventurer Association invited you to attend?
"yes. Chen Mo spread his hands and said, "After all, I feel distressed to see you worrying all day long." β
"Bah!" Greres rolled his eyes, "don't be disgusting here." If there's a fart, let it go!"
After all, just because of this, there is no need to bring him along.
"Haha. Chen Mo smiled, and then said, "But there is one sentence that I am not lying, I did bring you here to protect Linna." β
"Oh, what do you say?" said Graylers.
"What do you say?" Chen Mo smiled and said one word: "Shadow Church!"
"Shadow Church?!!" Greiles exclaimed. "How did they show up!"
