After the strength was advanced to a super-absolute element, it rose a little with difficulty.

Wren carefully compared and found that at least six to seven bars of power would advance the progress bar by one bar. With such a huge consumption, no matter how much Halken's doppelganger soul power is, it is not enough to continue to strengthen.

At the same time, the rate of power growth has slowed down and is nearing the end.

So Wren put the remaining power into the charging element, strengthening it to level five, slightly extending the distance of the charge by a few meters.

Finally, the battery stopped rising and calmed down.

Wren exhaled secretly, this time absorbing the soul made his heart tremble, the main reason was that his professional level was too low, but the third-level wizard dared to absorb the legendary soul, if it was not for the strengthening element, there might really be a tragedy.

He looked at the icons of several elements in the interface of his phone, and his heart was very excited.

The third level of the steel body, the seventh level of strength, and the fifth level of charge;

The second ring of dragon power, the second ring of rainbow rays;

The metallic touch and the will to truth cannot be strengthened.

Except for the charge, the rest of the elements have basically reached the upper limit of the current wizard level, and if you don't upgrade to the middle level with soul transformation, it is useless to absorb more souls.

Wren turned off the phone's interface, and by this time Zoltan had already packed up the metal box and put it back on his back.

Before leaving, he hurriedly prayed to the idol of Moradin.

The three of them walked out of the temple, and Roger suddenly said, "Wait a minute. ”

He took out a bottle of potion from his waist pouch and sprinkled it on himself and his two companions, "This is a deodorant, which can eliminate the smell on the body, some shadow warriors and magicians have olfactory sensory elements, and can rely on smell tracking, we need to be cautious." ”

Wren nodded.

Roger himself has a strong sense of smell and has "elephant trunks", so he can be called an expert in smell, knowing how to use smell tracking and how to prevent it.

After sprinkling the potion, Roger sniffed his nose and nodded, "Okay." ”

The three of them identified their direction and left quickly.

The Throne Hall Crypt is the core area of the fourth layer, and even the most important place in the entire Ironbeard Fortress, with more than a dozen exits in all directions.

Roger deliberately chose the opposite path.

However, no sooner had the three of them reached the edge of the cavern, and before they could enter the passage, Wren heard a noise in the distance from the cavern.

He jerked back and listened for a few seconds, then reminded softly, "Halken is here." ”

"So fast!"

Zoltan was surprised and a little nervous.

Roger still had a grim face, "He should have been not far away just now, that's why he arrived so soon." His eyes swept around, thought for a moment, and said, "It's a little late to leave now, the movement is too big, let's find a place to hide first." ”

On the rock wall not far from the passage, there is a stone house that has been excavated.

Half of the stone house had collapsed, leaving only half of the room intact, and high enough from the ground to observe the entire cavern.

The trio quickly ducked inside, holding their breath and peeking out through the small window in the wall.

Several figures appeared on the other side of the cavern, and as if they had known the location, they went straight to the place where the Halken clone had been killed.

In order to avoid direct gaze and reactions, Wren observed these people out of the corner of his eye.

There are four of them, and each one dresses up differently.

One was a tall man, dressed in heavy fine armor and carrying a two-handed broadsword, with a steady pace, apparently a strength melee transcendent.

Judging by the elements in the soul, this is a great swordsman!

Like Steel Knight, the Great Swordsman is an advanced class of Iron Guard, but the Great Sword Master is good at attacking, while Steel Knight is good at defense, and both are mainly melee combat.

The other three, one is a female elemental archer with an enchanted longbow in his hand, one is a wizard in a black robe, who is actually a very rare dark mage, that is, a shadow wizard, and the last one is a middle-aged man dressed as a shadow warrior, with an ordinary appearance and a cold gaze, which is exactly what Halken himself looks like.

Wren could tell at a glance that he was the essence of Halken, a legendary mid-level trickster.

The three people who traveled with him were actually all treacherous clones of Halken, but they were simulated into different forms, and each clone had the strength of the first level of legend.

It's like a well-configured adventure team.

The Great Swordsman is at the front and is responsible for melee combat, the Dark Mage is the output of spells, the Elemental Archer attacks from a distance, and the Sorcerer and Shadow Warrior is in the dark dispatching and commanding, and the surprise soldiers are sneaking up.

Moreover, they are actually the same person in essence, with tacit cooperation and a clear division of labor.

Wren deeply felt the power and terrifyingness of the legendary magician.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Roger next to him.

"A trickster is equivalent to a whole team, several legendary clones join forces to besiege, and Master Roger can still escape calmly, it's really amazing!"

On the other side of the cave, Halken and the clone quickly found the place where they had fought.

The three clones scattered around, and his body picked up the strange-shaped short sword that had been cut in two from the ground, and observed it carefully for a long time, without saying a word.

Putting away the damaged dagger, Halken followed the footsteps on the ground and looked at the temple of Moradin.

Moments later, four legendary transcendents arrived at the temple and entered it.

After Harken went in with the clone, he didn't come out for a long time, and there was silence in the cave.

The three of Wren looked at each other, they didn't know what the situation was, except for the rune knowledge in the temple, they didn't leave any clues.

Zoltan was very anxious, staring at the door of the temple.

It was one of the few temples left after the fall of Moradin, and he did not want to be desecrated by the cultists of the evil gods.

Just when the dwarf was about to lose his breath, Halken and the clone finally came out.

They left the temple and suddenly turned back in unison in the square outside.

Wren had a premonition that something was wrong, and before the thought fell, a loud explosion sounded in the cave.

Bang......

In the sound of the explosion, the majestic Moradin Temple collapsed with a bang, the rubble was scattered, the dust was flying, and the shock wave formed by the violent magic fluctuations swept across the small half of the cavern, and the temple turned into a large ruin in an instant.

Zoltan looked at this scene, his eyes glazed over, and he was about to shout and kill.

Roger's eyes were quick, and his palm sliced into the back of the dwarf's neck, knocking him unconscious.

Wren also reached out to support Zoltan's body, so as not to fall down and make a noise, which would be noticed by Halken.

Destroying the Temple of Moradin, Halken did not linger any longer, and the Dark Mage clone opened a magic scroll, and a portal appeared in the square.

One by one, Halken walked into the portal with the clones and disappeared.

The portal closes.

But neither Wren nor Roger spoke, nor did they rush out, staring at the direction of the temple ruins very tacitly.

A quarter of an hour later, in the darkness not far from the ruins, a glimmer of light.

It was a strange-shaped short sword, as if it was held by an invisible person, and it was suspended from the ground for a few seconds, and then it was thrown with great force.

The short sword turned into a dim streamer, and in the blink of an eye, it flew out two or three hundred meters.

Just as he was about to land, a figure emerged from the hilt of his sword and caught the short sword. The man was in a penumbral state, grabbed the hilt of the sword and threw it again, and then disappeared himself.

After several successive relays, the dagger flew out of the cave.

Wren and Roger looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

As a legendary mid-level trickster, Halken is a treacherous man, and unless he has other treacherous clones, he must have left.

At the very least, Wren's Will to Truth didn't find any more stealthy targets.

Obviously, Halken had given up on searching for the enemy, and the space of Ironbeard Fortress was comparable to a city, and finding a few people in it without clues was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even if the number of his doppelgangers was ten times higher, there would be no results for several months.

As a result, Halken chose to destroy the Moradin Temple.

Without the energy provided by the rune circle in the temple, the people outside would not be able to enter the fortress through the teleportation array, and as long as they held the passage on the first floor, the people inside would not be able to get out.

At this moment Zoltan woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he got up, and when he saw the ruins of the temple, tears suddenly flowed from under his mechanical glasses, and his beard was wet.

Wren didn't know how to comfort him, so he patted the dwarf on the shoulder.

After a long time, Zoltan wiped away his tears, took out a simple book from the box, wrote it with a brush, and said in a deep voice: "In the name of Hamar! I will not forget this hatred, my clan will not forget, and my descendants will not forget, unless my blood is severed, I will forever take revenge on Harken and Shadow Blade!"

Wren sighed, this is the dwarf's "book of hatred".

Every dwarf, every family, every clan, has a book of hatred, in which he records his enemies, or the events of his feuds, and vows to take revenge.

If you don't complete your revenge, then the Book of Hate will live on for generations to come.

Zoltan recorded this matter in the Book of Hatred, and when he returned, if he was recognized by the clan, it would be published in the Book of Hate of the entire clan, and possibly even enter the "Book of Great Hatred" of the dwarf race, and all dwarves would be obliged to take revenge.

It will not be removed from the Book of Hate until the dwarves believe that the enemy has paid enough.

After writing it, Zoltan put away the book of hatred and regained his composure.

Wren looked at Roger and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation on the first floor, is there a chance to sneak out?"

"It's difficult. ”

Roger shook his head and replied: "Shadow Blade and Dark Sun cooperated, and several dark wizards laid a large number of magic traps outside the passage, and there are legends guarding them at all times, unless it is a hard break, there is no other way." ”

Wren was helpless.

Just one Halken is terrifying enough, as well as the legendary high-ranking dark wizard Tinos, and a large group of followers of Lohi, all of whom are transcendental.

With Roger's strength, he didn't dare to break through, and he went to find death by himself.

Roger was silent for a moment and said, "Halken didn't find us, if he doesn't want an accident, he is likely to start the plan in advance, we must hurry." ”

Wren nodded, it was almost a certainty.

He didn't hesitate any longer, took out the microphone and looked at it, it was evening, and the sky outside should not have completely darkened.

Wren pressed the button and uttered a phrase: "Captain, where are you now?"

In less than half a minute, the microphone vibrated slightly, and Pollock's voice sounded: "I'm resting at home, I'm about to have dinner, Wren, what's the matter with you?"

Wren thought for a few breaths and replied, "I have a very important matter to do, which is very urgent, but I am not in Longshande, please ask the captain to go for me, and immediately go to Vigo Manor to find Lady Viola and ask her to talk to me." ”

"Good. Pollock replied immediately.
