Volume 12 The Rise of the Darkwalkers! Chapter 27: The Great Trouble (Part II)
"If that monk thinks that you are the real murderer of the owner of this badge, then that mercenary group will definitely be regarded as your accomplice," Luo Lan said with a somewhat playful expression, "Although you originally wanted to help them, you actually harmed them. Xiao Gu was stunned for a moment, he suddenly felt that Mentor Aisha was right, the complexity of the surface world is far more complex than he imagined, it seems that when you want to go anywhere, you always find that you have embarked on a different path than you want. But at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask Luo Lan strangely: "My lord, since you have already seen that there is something wrong with that badge, why don't you give the order to stop me?"
Luo Lan slowly turned his head sideways, he looked at Xiao Gu meaningfully, and said: "This is not the underground world, and you are not performing guild tasks, in the past, when you acted, all complicated things have been carefully considered by others first, you just need to follow the pre-paved path to move forward, but sooner or later you need to be on your own, maybe I can defend you now, but you will never know the mistakes you have made, only by accepting a lesson, you will know how to think, how to solve problems." ”
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "It's not terrible to make mistakes, it's terrible to not know how to correct them." ”
Xiao Gu thought for a while, and then he said seriously: "My lord, I understand, my affairs should be solved by myself." ”
"So what are you going to do?" Luo Lan's sharp gaze stared at Xiao Gu, "If you want to solve a thing, then ask yourself if you have the ability to solve it, and then think about how to solve it." But once you've started the action, you have to take care of everything that follows, and don't leave a trace, or it will only cause you endless trouble. ”
"I won't make the same mistake again," Xiao Gu said solemnly, "I'm going to stay and fight against that monk with these mercenaries." ”
Luo Lan said coldly: "You alone can't protect them all." Their doom was already preordained. ”
"I know," Bone nodded in acknowledgement, "but I'll just leave them and go, and that monk will go around tracking me down if he can't find me, so we will only have more and more enemies, so it's better to stay while there are so many people in the land now." In this way, the mercenary team can also attract some attention, and the chances of winning the confrontation will also increase a lot. ”
Luo Lan looked at Xiao Gu unexpectedly, and a trace of approval drifted in his eyes, but he asked rhetorically: "But what if, their strength is far beyond your imagination?"
Xiao Gu raised his head and spit out a word confidently: "Run!"
Luo Lan stretched out his hand and waved. Laughing: "Don't be so nervous. If they can deal with us. Then just do it. So I reasoned. The maximum probability is that they are ambushed in front. And it's unlikely to get hands-on at night. By dawn there were less than four hourglasses. Take advantage of this time. You can prepare well. After all. It's a true way for you to fight alone. ”
He took out a parchment book with a black cover from his bosom. Handed it to Xiao Gu and said, "Lend this book to you." ”
Xiao Gu didn't say a word too much, and took it directly. And opened it and looked at it a few times. He was immediately drawn to the contents: "Blood magic?"
"Although you have a special preference for fire-based magic. But I think. This book will also help you. Because most of the things in it are tricks. In front of Luo Lan. Bone though full of respect. But when they get along, they behave more casually than other undead. This is what makes Luo Lan the most satisfied. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. Take your time. I'll give it back when I'm done. If it weren't for the fact that this book would be monumental to me. Then I'll give it to you. ”
Although there are magic books in the underworld that contain the treasure of the Black Elves. But most of them are advanced theories and esoteric and boring discussions. And not like this one. The whole article is an in-depth overview of the technique. The small bones understand the value of the earth. Take the book. His eyes sparkled eagerly. It feels like it's the most wonderful thing in the world.
"I remember you had a set of magical equipment. You can wear it to the fight. Luo Lan reminded Xiao Gu.
There are not a few things that have accumulated over thousands of years in the world underneath. Except for the daily supply of a certain amount of ore and special metals to Bei Selen, the equipment and items they stored were almost the same. It is obviously not his style to do his best, so now almost all of the more than 300 mages in the Doomsday Union, including apprentices, have a set of sophisticated mage equipment, which is unimaginable even on the Apollo continent.
Xiao Gu was the first member of the Doomsday Guild to be favored by Luo Lan, even Olevinia also attached great importance to his trip to the ground, so he had a set of quite dazzling equipment, a pair of Mithril Magic Gloves, which contained two instantaneous mid-level spells, two bone spur bracelets, which can accelerate the recovery of mental power, a high-grade cave blood robe, which can convert the enemy's blood into his own energy in battle, and a secret dark gold magic ring, which concealed a high-level dark spell "Dark Shield"; A staff of La Rodi, in which Aisha personally infused a high-level skeleton summoning spell.
It can be said that the value of this set of magical equipment is enough to sell tens of thousands of gold coins on the mainland.
However, in the face of these equipment, Xiao Gu was a little resistant, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "The mentor told me that too many auxiliary props will only make me rely on them too much, which in turn will make it impossible to increase my strength, so I can't use it more until it's critical." ”
Luo Lan shrugged his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and said: "Although these words are not unreasonable, but you also have to know how to use them under the premise of having equipment, you know, how to use equipment with your own characteristics is also a science, and, when you don't have equipment, challenging opponents who are one or two levels higher than you may be your limit, but with equipment, you can also try to challenge more powerful opponents, which only need to be grasped well, and it will not hinder your growth, but will broaden your horizons." ”
Xiao Gu said thoughtfully: "You have to mean ......"
Luo Lan said with a smile: "For example, you can observe how the opponent with excellent equipment fights, understand their thinking, learn from each other, find out the strengths and weaknesses from them, and constantly enrich yourself, isn't this also part of your cultivation?"
Xiao Gu nodded abruptly, and he took the equipment out of the spatial ring. After a while, he was all dressed on, and this time, he no longer had any psychological burden. The equipment of this black elf is not only of high quality, but it is also extremely beautiful and dazzling, but the style of the underworld is always gloomy and obscure, and it is not a true connoisseur. It's hard to appreciate the charm.
"Prepare well, no matter how strong or weak the opponent is, you have to do your best," Luo Lan's expression became a little more serious, and said, "You remember, I will be watching you from behind!"
Under Luo Landi's gaze, Xiao Gu suddenly felt an invisible pressure, he didn't know how this came about, but he really felt it.
The undead do not need to sleep and eat. So Xiao Gu was actually meditating when he was sleeping, but today he couldn't get into the state after trying hard for a long time, because his heart was full of tension and excitement before the battle at the moment. In contrast, the gloomy atmosphere that originally pervaded the entire mercenary team was dispelled a lot. Only the scarface man wiped his sword over and over again, as if there was still a deep concern, and the girl couldn't help but want to talk to Xiao Gu several times, but was stopped by the big man.
In the silent darkness and the beating firelight, rush by.
By daybreak, the fire was a pile of ashes, emitting a faint light smoke, and the mercenary group was on its way again.
And after what happened last night. The businessmen took the initiative to greet Luo Lan and Xiaogu warmly, with a humble demeanor and words full of sycophancy and flattery.
After all, a monk will be a monk, and behind it all represents a powerful family or a huge force, such people, even if they can't socialize, they don't dare to offend easily.
Luo Lan didn't say a word, and Xiao Gu made a few casual hums. In fact, he didn't know how to deal with them, but his "arrogant" appearance did not embarrass the merchants in the slightest, and was considered the most normal reaction.
The convoy proceeded smoothly, and by the end of the afternoon, a large area of dense woods appeared ahead, and the smell of moist grass and trees and the cool breeze lifted everyone's tired spirits.
"After walking through the woods, you are out of the parish of Cayhair," Scarface said loudly, his expression seeming to be much more relaxed.
But when the convoy walks into the road in the woods. Almost all people who walk feel that their feet are getting softer and softer. It was as if there was not solid ground beneath your feet, but a sticky swamp. Just as everyone noticed something was wrong, something flickered......
"Boom", a burly mercenary was blown off his head in an instant, the mercenary standing behind was a young man, he was stunned for a moment, until the smell of blood and burnt gas rushed into his nose, then he woke up, but his companion reacted much faster than him, he only felt that he was pushed heavily behind him, he was crushed to the ground, and the surroundings suddenly lit up, and there was a hot air flow above his head that grazed over, and his ears heard a roar similar to boiling the air.
Only then did it become clear that flying in the air was a fireball as red as a soldering iron, and the blinding light streaked across a distance, and finally exploded on a carriage, and the whole wooden carriage was suddenly torn apart, and sparks and scattered scorch flew into the crowd, and splashed many panicked exclamations and screams.
The Scarface man was short and exclaimed, "It's a magician!
The big man beside him slammed his two-handed big sword in front of him, only to feel a scorching heat rushing towards him, hitting the sword hard, his wrist couldn't help but tremble violently, and his body shook a little, he couldn't help but let out an angry snort, if he hadn't fallen into the trap of mire magic, why would he be so passive?
At this moment, there are two mages standing in the woods on both sides, one of which is a fire mage slowly and methodically releasing magic, and the cooperation with the earth mage is the most comfortable for him, and one by one the people who stand still are like targets for him to kill at will.
But he found that at this time, a figure rushed towards him, this person's speed is not fast, and his body is also very thin, it doesn't look worthy of attention at all, the fire mage glanced at it carelessly, thinking that this is just a young mercenary who is in a panic, and throws a small fireball with a flick of his hand, although the action seems to be random, but the position and landing point of the attack are just right, fully showing his advanced attainments in fire spells,
But coincidentally, the man's feet seemed to have tripped over something, and he stumbled forward a few steps before the fireball grazed his shoulder.
The fire mage frowned, flicked his fingers lightly, and a few small rockets rushed out, but he really couldn't tell whether the man's luck was good or bad, and when he got up again, his feet slipped again, so the posture was extremely ugly and fell, and the rocket fell down again.
The fire mage showed a cautious look, once it could be said to be a coincidence, but twice it was not quite right, which was enough to arouse the suspicion of the experienced man. But at this moment, the man raised his head suddenly, and a surging and burning fireball suddenly rushed out of his arms, and in just an instant, it rushed in front of him!
