Follow Zac into the passage that connects to the dungeon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The forest trolls seem to have some night vision, so they can move easily in the dark passages, but I used illumination to take care of Il.
"Zac, do you forest trolls use magic?" Trying to find out if Zac was a special individual in his race, I asked tentatively.
"We forest trolls are a social race that feeds on the beasts of the forest, and are good at using and throwing spears, and when it comes to magic, only a very small number of individuals can use it, isn't there a troll clan where Lord Kilgaru lives?"
I always felt that Sax was surprised by my question, is this all basic common sense? It seems that it is necessary to collect information about this world, otherwise I am afraid that people will laugh at it.
"Ah, I'm from a small closed island, so I don't know much about other monsters."
"I see, talking skeletons like your Excellency are indeed rare, so I'll introduce you to what I know."
"Really? Thank you so much. ”
According to Sack, this underground fortress we are in is located on a continent called Jurrant, in addition, there is also the human continent Lanceloth in this world, (the human continent here does not mean that there are only humans on this continent, but that this continent is controlled by human forces, and the following situation is the same) Elven continent Greenlanluo, orc continent Hairray, demon continent Osdra, dwarf continent Phyrek, Zerg continent Mirela six continents, Dividing these continents is the Demonic Ocean, which is home to a large number of giant monsters, and there are many floating islands in the sky dominated by dragons and winged people.
Jurrant, where we are located, is the smallest of all continents, but it is also the only free continent, which means that the power of all races is relatively balanced, and there are no particularly strong racial forces. Of course, this is due to the existence of the evil mage Veesid, who is known as the enemy of the world.
Enemy of the world? Just by listening to this domineering nickname, you can understand that Weiside is an incredible character! In this way, it seems that I should be at the top of this world to inherit his power, but there are also people who can defeat Weised, not to mention that I haven't mastered the power in my body yet, so I still can't be careless!
Although Sark is a forest troll, he is an alien who was raised by a human adventurer since he was a child, so he can use human language, and the so-called adventurer is a bit similar to a mercenary, and it is a profession that makes a living by accepting the commission of various monster crusades, and the organization formed by the adventurer to maintain the power of the adventurer and protect the interests of the adventurer is called the adventurer's union. Ah, this kind of world setting is really similar to the game.
Before we knew it, we had passed a stone staircase that swirled downward, and a huge hole appeared in front of us, without the slightest trace of artificial construction, which must have been formed naturally by the influence of an underground river. There are a lot of glowing crystals placed on the open rocky floor, so the whole dungeon is still relatively bright. In fact, it can't be called a dungeon in the strict sense of the word, because there is nothing like a cage at all, but an open space. It seems that the monsters locked up here are completely imprisoned by magic.
At this moment, there are a lot of monsters of different sizes and shapes gathered in this clearing, and according to Sark, the total number of monsters in this dungeon is now 217, most of which are low-level monsters from one star to three stars. The star rating of the monster is designed by the human adventurer to determine the difficulty of the commission, and the danger of the monster increases from one star to ten stars. For example, the goblins encountered earlier are one-star monsters, and the forest troll race to which Sack belongs is a four-star monster.
Due to his years of experience, Sark has also become accustomed to distinguishing monsters by the standards of adventurers, and the advantage of this is that he can indeed quickly divide monsters.
Of course, this criterion is only for the preliminary division of ordinary individuals in each monster race, and some powerful special individuals will correspondingly increase their star rating. There are also seven levels of division of different individuals in a single race, the vast majority of the most ordinary individuals are ordinary, those who are particularly strong are strengthened, those who have learned some magic or martial arts and other combat skills are warriors, those who can skillfully use the combat skills they have mastered are warriors, those who have a certain power on the basis of the generals are leaders, those who can lead multiple leaders to dominate the entire race are kings, and there are heroes and legends above the kings. However, both levels are special individuals that rarely appear in hundreds of years.
As an individual's level increases, so does the star rating that indicates the difficulty of their crusade. For example, if Sark is a Warlord-level Forest Troll, then its star level will increase by at least one and a half stars on the basis of the four-star level to which the original Forest Troll belongs, which means that its star rating is now at least five and a half stars. Of course, this division standard does not take into account the influence of other factors such as age, abilities, and magic bonuses, and can only make a preliminary division of the strength of the monster.
As we stepped into the dungeon, the monsters in front of us let out all kinds of roars, and although we couldn't understand it, we could feel that there was no malice in those sounds. At the forefront of the many monsters are a boar man and a bear monster. According to Sark's introduction, they are Padra and Kado, both of whom have reached the warrior level, and the stars of the boar and the bear monster are both three and a half stars, so the star ratings of these two individuals should be at least four and a half stars.
Since they don't speak, I used magic-telepathy to communicate with them briefly, but it's just a few polite words, so I won't describe them one by one. Even though Shack had already said hello in advance, the two monsters were still surprised that I could speak, and circled around me several times as if they were watching a rare animal. I was surprised to see wild boars and huge bears standing like people, but since it's a magical world, it's not surprising that there are strange creatures.
After getting to know each other briefly, we continued our march towards the secret room surrounded by a large group of monsters.
Led by Il, we made our way through the dungeon to a room lined with stone statues on both sides. Each statue is about the same height as Sark, and resembles a warrior in armor, holding a giant sword and a tower shield in his hands, making them look like large death knights. At the end of the room is a beautiful magic door, which is supposed to be the entrance to the secret room.
"Wait!" Sensing that the stone statues on both sides were not mere ornaments but the product of magic, I raised my hand to interrupt the march of the monster army. Years of experience watching anime and fantasy movies have taught me that under normal circumstances, when you walk over, the stone statue will attack.
"What's wrong? Lord Kilgaru," Zac behind him whispered.
"There is a flow of magic from those stone statues," I used the magic to perceive, and I saw that the stone statues were surrounded by black magic like smoke, which confirmed my previous judgment, "Maybe it's some kind of mechanism, don't let the monsters enter this room just yet." ”
"Monsters are fine, it's just ......" Zac pointed his finger straight in front of me.
An ominous premonition rose in my mind, and I hurriedly looked forward along the extension line of Zack's finger.
At the moment, all the monsters were silently in place, except for one guy, yes, it was Il-Nasdra.
"Hey! Lord Kilgaru, you are so slow! He was now bouncing to the center of the room, shouting and waving at us.
"What are you doing? Come back! I shouted at Il, looking at the stone statues on either side, and saw that the stone statues were moving slowly, and the surface of the rock was beginning to crack.
"Huh?" Il, who hadn't noticed the change next to him, showed a puzzled expression, how slow was this guy's reaction!
Dust rose like a mist in the room, and the stone statue's rocky exterior had completely peeled off, revealing its true form inside, a steel armor with eyes glowing red, the black armor had no substance inside, replaced by invisible smoke, and at this moment they had rushed towards Il in the center.
And Eir fainted on the spot after finding himself surrounded by a huge group of armored warriors. Ha, this kind of coping ability is really convenient!
Of course, now is not the time to vomit.
"Second-Order Flame Magic-Fire Spirit Impact," As the magic was activated, small fireballs with faint faces appeared around me, and they flew towards the moving armor according to my will, and the armor that was hit shattered instantly, at the same time, I turned to Zac behind me, "Zack, I'll take cover, please go and bring Ilna Idiot back!" ”
"Leave it to me," Sark glanced to the left and right at my request, and three figures flashed out from behind me.
The boar-man Pardela seemed to have used some kind of enhanced magic, and its body exuded a metallic luster, and it slammed into one of the armors, and after a sharp sound like metal colliding, the steel armor suddenly shattered, and Pami did not seem to be affected in any way, and continued to rush towards the other armor, it seems that its body is not only the color but also the hardness of steel.
On the other hand, the bear monster Cardo also waved its huge front claws, and the sharp claws with the attribute of fire smashed the armored warriors around it.
Under the cover of the countless flying fire spirits and Padra and Cardo, Sack smoothly came to Eir's side, grabbed him like a kitten, and quickly retreated.
Although the armored warriors were constantly shattered, they were connected again in an instant, and their numbers did not decrease at all. On this side, due to the consumption of physical strength, Padra and Cardo, who were absolutely superior at the beginning, were gradually suppressed back, but the original purpose was to save Il, so the three monsters successfully retreated back before being surrounded.
"It's just a few pieces of armor, don't be too arrogant!" Seeing the armored warriors rushing towards me, I cast my magic again.
Fourth-Order Fire Magic-Lava Hell!
The magic of area damage formed a circular barrier with a confinement effect on the ground, surrounding all the armored warriors, and then the ground began to continuously spew up lava, under the invasion of the scorching huge pillar of fire, the armored warriors began to gradually melt, the entire magic effect lasted for ten seconds, and then only a scorching trace was left in front of them. And the steel armor had turned into steam and scattered in the space around it.
The huge heat caused the surrounding air to expand rapidly, and although they were separated by a long distance, the monsters behind them were still forced to retreat by the oncoming hot wind. After seeing such a powerful magic, the monsters' eyes were full of fear.
"Really, really amazing, who are you? If you had fought me before, if you had done it seriously, I would never have survived. Sack exclaimed.
"It's actually not that powerful, this level of magic is just a piece of cake," I wanted to ease the tension, but after I said something nice, the surroundings became quieter, and even the sound of the monsters' breathing could not be heard.
Although the hot air was still blowing in front of you, the atmosphere around me seemed to have dropped to freezing, and the silence was uncomfortable.
"Ahh I'm going to die! Help me! An inopportune shout suddenly sounded, but in a sense, Il may have woken up at the right time, and the awkward silence around him was broken in an instant, "Huh? Ki, Lord Kilgaru? It was as if I had a terrible dream. ”
"Dream of your size, you touched the mechanism, but fortunately they saved you!" Another heavy punch to Il's head, seeing his demented expression as if he was out of the way was really infuriating!
"Ah, it hurts! I'm going to be stupid if you keep hitting me on the head, Lord Kirgaru," Il's cheeks puffed out, looking up at me.
Come on, you're stupid enough, okay!
Not wanting to dwell too much with him, I looked around, "There shouldn't be any injuries, so let's move on." ”
"Wait, wait!" Eir's voice looked panicked.
"What's wrong again?" The marching order, which was already handsome, was interrupted by Yier.
"So, may I ask Lord Kirgaru, do you have any pants that you can change, my pants seem to be wet." Irby gestured his fingers with a shy expression.
"Poof," Sark burst out laughing, and the monsters around him laughed too, not knowing whether it was to suit the atmosphere or to understand what Il meant.
"Do you look like a man with pants? Just bear with it! Laughing and crying, I made a gesture forward.
"How so!"
Ignoring the grumblings of Il, I continued to march forward with the entire monster army.
However, thanks to Il's sneering jokes, the atmosphere around him became relaxed again, and the door of the secret room was now close in front of him.
