Chapter 120: The Core of Iola
You stay here. ”
Roger disagreed, and said: "If we all leave, Zoltan will copy runes in the temple, in case the dark wizard's accomplices come back, Zoltan is too dangerous to be alone, with you, I can rest assured." ”
Wren nodded, in fact, he regretted it a little as soon as he finished speaking.
There may be a lot of Shadowblade Killers or followers of Loshi in the upper echelons of the stronghold, and you should avoid being in front of them. He is not like Roger, his whereabouts are easily exposed, and once he is found to have strife marks on his body, he may drag Roger down.
In order to absorb the soul, but put everyone in danger.
It's too selfish to do that.
Wren was introspective in his heart, almost carried away by the desire to absorb the soul, and he must be cautious in the future.
Roger didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the door of the temple.
Wren suddenly shouted, "Master Roger, wait a minute. ”
Roger looked back, thinking that Wren had something else to say, only to see Wren suddenly pull out his shotgun on the outside of his thigh and shoot at a corner of the temple.
Bang!
As the gunshots rang out, a translucent black shadow appeared in the originally empty corner, and the person seemed to be a little caught off guard, being hit by small steel balls, splashing a little blood.
Bang bang bang......
Wren fired several shots in succession, and the figure was forced to have nowhere to retreat, desperately dodging the bullets, and the shadow escape immediately failed, revealing his true body.
This is a shadow warrior with a masked face.
He was wearing black leather armor and holding two daggers in his hands, but he was a little embarrassed at the moment, and his body was full of small holes, almost beaten into a sieve. However, the defense of this leather armor is quite good, and the power of the shotgun is mostly blocked, and the injury is not serious.
Wren didn't waste any more bullets, turned and charged to block the exit of the temple.
This shadow warrior doesn't need him to take action, and he has Roger to clean it up.
Roger reacted extremely quickly, drawing his steel sword as soon as Wren fired his first shot. By the time Wren stopped, he had already rushed in front of the Shadow Warrior in one step.
The Shadow Warrior endured the pain of the gunshot wound on his body, raised his dagger, and faced Roger.
The daggers slashed through the air as their arms slashed at each other, slicing at high speed, bringing up dozens of thin lines of light, each of which resembled a sharp blade, forming a large web of cutting.
This is the core attack element of the Shadow Warrior - Sword Flurry.
Roger quickly sealed with his left hand, and a layer of pale golden shield stretched out, and dozens of sharp blades slashed on the shield without even a little wave, intact.
The Shadow Warrior didn't even have time to react, and the sword light flashed twice in front of his eyes.
Dangdang two sounds.
There was an irresistible force in both hands, and the dagger was knocked away, and a steel sword was already across the neck.
The Shadow Warrior was like a lightning strike, and he didn't dare to move, until the red and hot sword blade burned his neck in severe pain, and he exclaimed: "Your Excellency, please don't kill me!"
Roger's face was expressionless, and his cat-pupil-like eyes stared at the Shadow Warrior, full of indifference.
This series of changes, Wren did not have the slightest surprise.
As early as when the Shadow Warrior infiltrated the temple, he noticed the traces of this person, pretending not to find it, but in fact, the soul eye could see it clearly.
This is a sixth-level shadow warrior with good strength, but under the hands of the legendary demon hunter, he has no power to resist like ordinary people.
On top of that, this Shadow Warrior is also a follower of Loshi.
A Shadow Blade Killer.
Wren didn't want to get close to the Shadow Warrior and expose the strife marks on his body, but in order to remind Roger, he deliberately walked over and asked, "Are you Marish?"
"Yes. The Shadow Warrior nodded hurriedly.
He was about to continue talking, when Wren had already walked closer, he sensed the existence of the strife mark, looked at Wren and subconsciously shouted, "Blasphemer......"
"Hmph. Wren pretended to have a changed face, "It turned out to be a lackey of the fraudsters." ”
Roger reacted immediately.
This shadow warrior is a believer of Luoxi, so the dark wizard just now must also be, they must have a shady conspiracy when they enter the fortress.
Roger didn't have the patience to ask any more, and made a strange gesture with his left hand, gently swiped it in front of the shadow warrior's eyes, and whispered, "Look at me." ”
The Shadow Warrior Marish was shocked, his eyes became dull, and Mu Ne responded: "Yes." ”
Wren glanced at Roger and thought to himself, this was a trick of confusion.
The Witcher is a semi-caster, and when promoted to the intermediate level, from level four to six, a total of six spells can be learned.
They are the "Quinn Shield" to defend against physical attacks, the fire-based "Flame Flow", the ice-based "Ice Roar", the three-ring arcane "Gravity Trap", the psychic "Confusion", and the "Elemental Armor" to resist magical attacks.
Each spell has a unique role.
These six spells are derived from four types of Souls, with the Quinn's Shield element belonging to the Quinn Bear, the Flame Flow and Ice Roar elements both belonging to the Argus Two-Headed Wolf, the Gravitational Trap and Bewilderment from the Earthbound Serpent, and the Elemental Armor from the Helio Shem Cat.
Compared to other mid-level demon souls, these four types of demon souls have fewer elements, only one or two.
However, they have very little conflict with each other, and the Witcher can choose to fuse three of them at will without having to think about the conflict anymore.
The first demon soul fused determined the school of demon hunters.
Roger is a witcher of the Wolf School, so it can be seen that his main soul in the middle level was the Argus two-headed demon wolf, so he usually uses the spell Ice Roar most often.
Wren also saw that Roger had used gravity traps, and judging from this, he gave up the demon soul of Helio Shem Cat, and did not know elemental armor.
The Witcher's casting method is also different from other spellcasters, but it is cast through handprints, which is convenient and fast, but there are many restrictions and it is difficult to master.
Each spell has its own mudra name.
For example, the Confuse Technique, which the witchers call the Mark of Eksi.
At this moment, Roger released the Mark of Eksi, and with his legendary strength, which is equivalent to the confusion of the four rings, Marish was immediately attacked, losing control of himself.
"Are there any other people in the Stronghold?" Roger began to interrogate.
"Yes. Marish replied.
Wren asked, "How many more?" and where are they?"
Marish's gaze was confused for a few seconds before he replied: "I don't know how many people there are, this time to carry out the mission in Longshand, it was Lord Harken who personally led the team, and it has been prepared for several years, and at least thirty people participated in the mission, all of them are the elites of the Shadow Blade. ”
"And the dark wizard of the dark sun is here, and the leader is Lord Tinos. ”
"Our people are on the first floor of the fortress, Moore and I were sent down to explore the fortress, Moore is a man of the dark sun, he discovered the rune knowledge in the temple, and as a result, he accidentally activated the teleportation array, but he has been killed by you. ”
Marish said it all at once, without any concealment.
Roger's brow furrowed.
At this moment Zoltan ran out from behind the temple, he heard the gunshots, thought something was wrong, and happened to hear Marish's words, and exclaimed: "Halken and Tinos?"
"You know them?" Wren asked back, as if the two men had a great reputation.
Zoltan nodded with a heavy face, "Halken is the number two person of the Shadow Blade, a legendary mid-level trickster, his strength is very terrifying, the leader of all the Shadow Blade Killers in the empire, he has committed many big crimes, killed many wizards, and the empire has a bounty of up to 500,000 gold on him!"
"Tinos may not be well-known in the Empire, but in the subcontinent of Shabkontina, south of the World Mountains, he controls a large area the size of the two provinces of the Empire, and is one of the leaders of the Dark Sun, openly believing in fraudsters. ”
"Legend has it that Tinos himself is a legendary high-level dark wizard who has the hope of becoming a holy soul!"
When the dwarf said this, his eyes became a little frightened.
The lava fortress he came from is located on the edge of the World Mountains and the Shabu subcontinent, which was once the sphere of influence of the dwarves, and now the dwarves often deal with the races of the subcontinent, and have a deep understanding of the prestige of Tinos.
"What is the dark sun?"
Wren had heard of the organization for the first time.
Roger explained: "Dark Sun, like Shadow Blade, is an organization that believes in fraudsters, but most of them are composed of spellcasters, mainly dark wizards, who are smaller in number than Shadow Blades, secretive, and not famous, but they are more trusted by fraudsters, and sometimes called the hands of fraudsters, but dark wizards are too easy to reveal their identities, so they rarely operate in the Empire." ”
Wren's scalp tingled a little when he heard this.
He had long known that Loshi's followers had a big conspiracy against the Duke of Silverstar, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big movement.
Legendary mid-level tricksters take the lead, and there are also dark wizards who are close to the Holy Soul!
The wizards under the Holy Soul, that is, the legendary high rank, have a professional level between the sixteenth and nineteenth levels, and even if they are placed in the Empire, they are also well-known big names.
What did Duke Silverstar do to offend the fraudster himself? Otherwise, how could the two evil god organizations of Shadow Blade and Dark Sun be dispatched?
Roger, as a legend, was not frightened, appeared relatively calm, and asked:
"What is your mission to Lonzand?"
"The core of Iola. Marish immediately replied, "Someone has sent Shadowblade a mission to take away the core of Iola from the Duke of Silver Star and prevent the Duke of Silver Star from establishing the Floating City. ”
Roger and Zoltan were amazed.
Zoltan couldn't help but ask, "Duke Silverstar has created the Core of Iola, where did you get the news?"
"The mysterious man who issued the mission told us that there is indeed an Eola Core in the Wizard Tower. Marish replied.
"Moradin is on top!"
Zoltan exclaimed, "It turns out that the Duke of Silver Star has come to this point, is the empire about to raise the eighth floating city?"
Wren was also a little incredulous, and at the same time suddenly realized in his heart.
The Core of Eola is the most important part of the establishment of the Floating City, as the power core of the Floating City, it can even be said that without the Core of Eola, there would be no Floating City.
It was invented by the greatest Holy Soul wizard of all time, Ogulvi, and may be the most valuable alchemical item in the world.
Building a Floating City requires astronomical wealth, more than half of which is spent to create an Iola Core, which is the most difficult step in building a Floating City.
With the core of Eola, then it is not far from the floating city to fly!
Wren had been unaware of Shadowblade's plans, but now he finally understood what was going on.
As expected, the core of Eola must be hidden in the Wizard Tower of the Duke of Silverstar, and Shadow Blade is trying in every possible way to lure the Duke of Silverstar out of the tower, not to kill the Duke, but to divert the tiger from the mountain.
They have an internal response in the academy and can freely enter and exit the wizard tower, and I am afraid that they have already figured out the situation in the tower, including the location of the core of Eola.
When the Duke of Silver Star leaves the tower and takes advantage of the situation, he can snatch the core of Iola.
Last time, Shadow Blade created the Fallen event and opened the door to the Abyss, trying to lure Duke Silver Star out of the Wizard Tower, but was destroyed by himself.
I wonder what they can do this time?
In addition, Wren noticed a detail, the teleportation array into the fortress was activated by the dark wizard Moore in the temple, that is, the followers of Loshi did not enter the fortress from the teleportation array, but had other passages.
He hurriedly asked, "Where did you enter the fortress from?"
"We found a hidden entrance under Brent Street and dug down for more than a year to enter this dwarven fortress. Marish replied.
Wren suddenly understood, "Sword of Oath?"
"Yes. ”
Marish replied confusedly, he was controlled by the Confusion Technique and had no idea of his own, so he wouldn't be surprised why Wren would know about the Sword of Oath.
On the contrary, it was Roger and Zoltan who looked at it strangely.
Wren noticed the eyes of the two, scratched his head, and said, "I followed a follower of Lohi last month and entered the store called Sword of Oath, and ended up missing people, so I had suspicions, but I didn't go in to verify it. ”
"You're lucky, kid, but luckily you didn't go in. Zoltan laughed, "Otherwise, we won't see you." ”
Roger also nodded slightly.
Wren looked lucky, and it was really prudent to be safe, if he rashly broke into the Sword of Oath, he didn't even know how he died.
He continued, "What are you digging into the fortress for?"
"Duke Silverstar hid the Core of Eola in the thirteenth basement of the tower, and Lord Halken's plan was to dig a passage from the Dwarven Fortress to the bottom of the Wizard Tower, infiltrate the tower, steal the Core of Iola, and if the plan went well, blow up the upper level of the fortress and the passage, create an earthquake, and blow down the Wizard Tower together. ”
Marish's words came out calmly, but the three of them broke out in a cold sweat.
If this makes the Shadow Blade successful, the Duke of Silver Star will inevitably lose his vitality, not only will he lose the priceless core of Iola, but even the wizard tower will be gone.
Moreover, the Ironbeard Fortress is located at the foot of the Silver Star Zone, and if an earthquake occurs and it collapses, I don't know how many people will die.
The whole of Lunshande will be hit hard.
Wren finally understood why everyone shouted and beat the cultists of the evil god, which was even more vicious than the terrorists in the previous life, and he didn't care about human life at all.
He wanted to ask about some more details, but the effect of the Confusion was over.
Marish's eyes gradually cleared up.
Confusion does not work continuously, and it becomes resistant after one hit, so you will have to wait at least a while before you can use it again.
"You ......"
He stepped back in a panic, the steel sword wolf's teeth flashed, and his head was cut off.
Roger heated the blade with his soul power, evaporated the blood from the sword, put the sword back into its sheath, and said, "We must tell the Duke of Silver Star about these things." ”
"Yes. Zoltan nodded heavily, and both looked at Wren at the same time.
Wren understood what they meant, and contacted the demon slayer team directly through the microphone sheet, he shook his head, and at this time he didn't care about hiding some secrets, and explained: "There is a traitor of the Shadow Blade in the demon slaying team, I secretly reported it before, but I got the news in advance and let them run away. ”
Roger's face sank.
Zoltan said anxiously: "Then what should I do?"
Wren was silent.
In fact, contacting the demon slayer team also helped, even if Shadow Blade got the news and hurriedly withdrew early, which at least ruined the plan to snatch the core of Iola.
However, it is highly likely that due to the failure of the plan, in retaliation, they will still blow up the fortress and passage before evacuating, causing huge casualties.
The worst thing is that Wren himself will reveal his identity because of this, and he will become the target of Shadow Blade from then on.
And after the passage was blown up, the three of them couldn't get out.
The three of them are well aware of this.
After a few minutes, Roger was the first to break the silence: "I'll go up there, maybe there's a chance to sneak out." ”
Rennes and Zoltan both nodded, this was the best way to do it at the moment.
If Roger could get out of the passage dug by the Shadow Blade and find the Duke of Silver Star to make it clear to his face, then all the problems would be solved.
"Roger, be careful. Zoltan patted the witcher's arm.
Wren also said softly: "Master Roger, if it's too dangerous, you can retreat, we can think of other ways." ”
The corners of Roger's mouth rose slightly, and his expression was as calm as ever.
"You have to be safe here, too. ”
He didn't stop for a moment, he immediately left the temple, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.
After Roger left, Zoltan immediately returned to the back of the temple to transcribe the runes, and Wren had the heart to check his mobile phone interface.
Marish's soul was absorbed by him, providing more than 40 charges, and because the power was full, he put all of it into the "power" element. The strength was originally less than ten blocks short of the progress bar, but after putting in this power, it happened to reach level five or more!
Wren felt the power of the fifth level, as if his whole body had inexhaustible strength.
"Level 5 strength, even if you don't bless the Dragon Power Technique, you should have fourteen thousand pounds!"
This increase was higher than he expected, and it was obvious that the strength had become more difficult to strengthen after being advanced to a rare element, and of course, the increase between each level was also greater.
Wren felt for a moment, and quickly adapted to his existing strength.
He sat in the temple and rested.
Half a day later, footsteps could be heard in the distance.
Wren's expression moved, and he walked out of the temple, and a figure came out of the darkness, it was Roger, who had left before.
It's just that his steps are a little staggering, his face is pale, he has multiple injuries on his body, he is bleeding constantly, there is only a steel sword left in his hand, and the other silver sword does not know where it has gone.
"Master Roger. Wren hurried to catch up.
