Chapter Twenty-Three: The Third Alchemist
The box pressed the hat with one hand and jumped down, but instead of falling straight down as one might expect, it made a sharp stop before hitting the ground.
At the same time, the magic guide staff in his hand lit up slightly, and a shockwave spread out from under his coat, rolling up snow and dust, shaking the surrounding soul returning corpses into the air, and falling down from the inside out, forming a radial circle.
"Holy!" Lan Wuxin and the others secretly screamed, they also saw at this time that this was a magician, but they had only seen someone who was handsome, but they had never seen someone so handsome.
However, only Fang Yu on the boat could see what the box guy was doing, but he was just using the power spell to hold himself up, he shook his head, and only calmly reminded in the communication channel: "Be careful of overheating." ”
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw a 'ahh
The latter crawled out of the snow pit while spitting on ice slag, only to pick up the hat on the side, shake the snow off it, put it back on, and straighten the position.
At this time, the surrounding soul corpses had already staggered and stood up again, the box turned around, and the magic guide wand in his hand pointed forward, and the magic guide furnace behind him suddenly became extremely bright, due to the dual cultivation of the sword and staff, he only pursued the output of magic power, and after the transformation of Fang Yuan, the output of his magic guide furnace can be said to be extremely extreme.
Aside from the fact that it is easy to overheat, there is hardly anything wrong with it.
And with a flash of magic ripples, the soul returning corpses that surrounded him in the direction he was pointing immediately flew out sideways.
The box turned around at the same time at that moment, and everyone didn't even see how his left hand drew the sword, only to see a flash of silver light, and a slender sword pierced the head of a soul corpse that rushed behind him, causing it to fall to the ground.
The latter didn't look at the corpse, but took a handsome sword flower and put it back in its sheath, and then looked back at the people.
"Be careful—" Lan Wuxin suddenly stopped.
For he saw a sturdy, curved edge of ice rolling up a wide wall of ice, and suddenly a 'bang' appeared behind the young man, and the fang-like wall of ice would separate the latter from the corpses of the soul.
platform.
The Miss Naturalist wiped her snowflake-stained spectacle lenses on the side of the boat, looked at her masterpiece below, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and closed the book with some hastiness.
Fang Yu couldn't help but praise: "Kita, your 'Anstali Great Glacier' is becoming more and more proficient. ”
Of course, he understands that Kita has unlimited potential, but she is an introvert, so she needs more encouragement.
Sure enough, Miss Naturalist was slightly surprised, and said in a panic: "No...... It's nothing. ”
Only the box below tapped the ice edge with the hilt of his sword and muttered, "One more move." Then he looked at the people again, after the previous big ups and downs, the others obviously didn't react a little - the box beckoned to them: "What are you doing, come here." ”
He has never negotiated with outsiders, and his speech and behavior to the outside world are either to learn from the lonely white field or to learn from the Fang plover, and now he has obviously opened the lonely white field mode.
However, those people were confused, after all, the way the other party landed before was really handsome, although it was a big surprise to fall headlong in the snow later, but then the clean sword and the glacier made them unable to understand again.
Is this a sorcerer or a swordsman?
And they thought it was a spell of the elemental envoy, but the elemental envoy could put such a large-scale spell, at least the level was enough for them to look up to.
Even Lan Wuxin couldn't help but step forward and ask, "...... Who are you? ”
"That's not important," the box looked indifferent and waved his hand, "It's just that the captain asked me to come down and help you." ”
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard this, the team members have already reached this level, what level does the captain have to be? They couldn't help but think of the previous scene, and looked up, and Fang Yu had already left the side of the ship, and it was now empty.
But this made these people feel more and more incomprehensible - there were hordes of undead below, and they were helpless, and the other party thought that it would be enough to let the young man come down alone.
What kind of magnitude is this?
But the box doesn't know the misunderstanding in these people's hearts, he is actually just habitually pretending.
And everyone didn't know that Fang Yu just let the box come down first, and the others would arrive later. After all, although the level of the soul corpse is low, it is difficult for one person to deal with the box after there are too many of them.
Don't look at its force field spell sweep is a large piece, but he pushes it out and adds fall damage is only about a dozen points, and the soul corpse has a full 200 health points (the health of the undead is generally high, this is due to the fact that its life exists differently from normal creatures), and when he finishes killing, the magic power of the magic furnace is exhausted for a few rounds.
Not to mention that these unconscious drowned corpses are also controlled by ghouls, which are more difficult to deal with, and the aquatic ghouls of Tibia Creek are of a much higher level than the ghouls under Fenris.
But the good thing is that when Kita casts the spell, Fang Plover finds that the ghouls realize that they are not easy to deal with, and summon their undead servants to retreat from the forest.
And he left first, just because there was still an 'uninvited' guest in the bilge, and since the danger had been lifted, of course he, as the captain, had to go to see how Baggins and Luo Yu were doing.
But this scene falls in the eyes of others at this moment, and the meaning is completely different-
It seems that the other party has already expected the following results, and there is no need to take another look, since one person has been asked to come down to help them, there will be no other accidents below.
In the hearts of everyone, such self-confidence is naturally based on confidence in the strong strength of their own players.
With this misunderstanding, the ground shook slightly, and a behemoth appeared in front of them through the woodland.
Only then did the group see that it was not an airship above the canopy, but a huge Gray Ridge Negative Hill Beast pulling a suspended platform with airbags suspended in mid-air.
However, it is shocking enough, whether it is a large pack beast or a floating platform, it is not something that can be easily seen, that is, it can only be seen in the occasional large merchant group, and it is even more rare that the team of the Elector has both.
Lan Wuxin tilted his head and muttered for a moment, in his impression, even before those large adventure groups moved south, there were no such adventure groups in the vicinity.
Is this a team from outside? It is not difficult to see foreign teams in the area of Masunke Creek Station, but at this time, such a luxurious configuration is rare.
Lan Wuxin still had some doubts in his heart, but the others finally reacted at this time, and ran towards the platform one after another, and a big cat appeared on the back of the Gray Ridge Negative Hill Beast at this time, and threw a soft ladder down to them-
Red's voice was cutting through the wind and snow, shouting to these people, "The injured are first, are there any incapacitated people?" ”
Everyone below shook their heads, some were wounded, but not incapacitated. But the surprise in their eyes was even greater - they still knew the lion people of Rotao, the people of the wilderness, which were very rare in Kaurin-Ihurian.
A moment later, Attila also appeared there, looking down, her rare emerald green eyes, wheat-colored complexion, and the peculiar patterns on her pointed ears indicating her identity.
A forest elf.
She didn't speak, but jumped off Mr. Graystone's back and examined everyone's injuries. The others couldn't help but be a little flattered for a while, with such a beautiful elf lady to take care of them, how could they have such treatment on weekdays?
There are more than 2,000 permanent residents in Masonke Creek Station, and only one-third of them are adventurers, and the proportion of healers to other auxiliary professions among adventurers is even smaller, otherwise they would not have to find such an alchemist to go out on an adventure.
Among those healers, two-thirds belong to the guild, and the rest are eager to even have a dog, and the only few female healers who are slightly more beautiful and have better techniques are basically regulars in some famous teams, which round will they be invited?
Lan Wuxin, on the other hand, observed more carefully, the difference between the natural magic in Attila's spell and the life divine power of Milella was still obvious, and he was a forest spirit and a druid, except for being a believer in Ameya, there was almost no other possibility.
But unicorn girls are so rare, and a team with such a special profession is basically idle, which is even more certain of the idea in his heart - this must be a team with some origins.
Of course, guessing is speculation, Lan Wuxin still stepped forward to thank the other party.
Attila only waved her hand and motioned for them to get on the boat, saying that although the ghouls had retreated for a while, it was not safe in the forest.
The alchemist standing at the back breathed a sigh of relief, he had actually wanted to get on the ship for a long time, he had been scared half to death in the previous battle, if these people hadn't come in time, he would have been a meal in the belly of those zombies.
And the captain who seemed to him to be amazingly good was still grinding and chirping here, and if it weren't for Attila who amazed him, and was embarrassed to speak ill in front of such a beautiful elf girl, he almost couldn't help but complain again.
However, when everyone climbed the rope ladder one by one, the alchemist unexpectedly found that the elf girl had also helped him with a hand, which made him feel a little overjoyed for a while, and thought that he was being looked at differently by the other party.
Come to think of it, he is an alchemist after all, and what team would not welcome an alchemist who is with him?
But how did he know that this was actually just because Fang Yu was clumsy every time he climbed the rope ladder, leaving an impression on Miss Elf, that is, if the alchemist didn't take care of it too much, he was afraid that he would fall half to death if he was not careful.
When everyone got on the boat, the first thing they saw was Kita who was staying on the side—a little girl who was a little cramped in the face of them, holding a pair of exaggerated glasses in one hand and a large book in the other—and when these people saw the big metal book in Kita's hand, they couldn't help but gasp.
Only then did they realize that it was not the Elemental Envoy they had imagined that had cast the 'Ice Wall' spell before—it was a naturalist. People almost thought they were wrong for the first time, and after exchanging glances with their captain, they realized that it was true.
A profession that exists almost exclusively in legends.
The fame of this profession in Aitaria is even inferior to that of the Combat Tinkerer, and much rarer than the latter.
Because the vast majority of people have only seen it in the community and in major competitions. How rare the magic guide book is, how few people are in this profession, so when Fang Yu first heard that a small guild like Tapolis could find a magic guide book, he really couldn't help but be a little amazed.
You must know that due to his serious bias and serious cognitive bias, in fact, among these guilds in the First World, there are really not many things that can make him amazed.
So not to mention the shock in the hearts of Lan Wuxin and the others at this moment.
A naturalist of Tata's age is basically the core of any guild.
The first thought of all the people was that they had come across a brigade of the top guilds, or elite youth clubs—and some couldn't help but look around to see if there was a big guild logo on the ship.
However, Kita obviously has no consciousness as a member of the 'Grand Guild', she has always been afraid of life, and she can't say a word in the face of these strangers.
Fortunately, Attila, the big cat man, and the box also followed, and the elf girl asked the box to take everyone to the ship's conference room to rest for a while, and then asked Kita to find Sky Blue to go to the kitchen to prepare some hot tea.
Jita was relieved and hurried away.
When everyone saw Attila giving orders, they thought that this elf lady was the one who spoke on the ship, that is, the 'captain' in the previous mouth of the box. Attila didn't realize what these people were thinking, and only asked, "Are you adventurers in the neighborhood?" ”
Lan Wuxin nodded.
He actually had nothing to hide, so he described the mission and purpose of his trip.
By the time Azure brought the hot tea to the restaurant, the rescued adventurers had already rested and dried their clothes by the fire before they began to tell about the troubles they had encountered that night.
Their group is none other than the adventurers of the Masunke Creek station, and this time they braved the wind and snow to travel at night, in fact, they were just looking for a boss who suddenly appeared in the Tibia Creek forest.
When Sky Blue pushed the door in, she apparently happened to hear such a key word:
“BOSS?” The little girl, her ears pricked up at once, asked curiously.
"Frey." Attila sighed, although she was a native, she also knew that among these Electors and Adventurers, information about bosses was generally a trade secret.
But he didn't expect Lan Wuxin to shake his head, with a look of regret: "Actually, there is nothing bad to say, it's just a troll named 'Mountain', this troll often acts with a necromancer on weekdays, because this combination is very rare, it has attracted people's attention, and after some exploration, it was discovered that it is actually a lord creature." ”
"After that, the surrounding area surrounded it, but without success, it angered the other side, and it attacked a hunter's camp in the north for the last time three years ago, and then disappeared without a trace. This time it appeared in the area of the Tibia Forest, which was also unexpected - our purpose was not the boss itself, but the adventurer's guild would offer a bounty, and anyone who found the trail of Shankok and reported it could get a lot of money. ”
Tianlan couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this: "So you're excited?" The Adventurer's Guild is not a charity, and a high reward definitely means high risk, and with your strength, it is too reluctant to venture out in this weather. ”
Attila glared at the guy again.
But Lan Wuxin thought it was true, he had actually regretted it a long time ago, this time he came out and counted the loss of manpower, he could lose a lot, even if he really found Shan Kok, it was actually a loss-making transaction.
What's more, they ran away in vain.
But although he regretted it, Tianlan was in love, who doesn't love the boss, as long as he has the strength to kill, the rewards are also quite rich. The rock shark they had killed in Tarun was just an elite creature, not a true lord, and it paid them a lot of money.
Now, most of the team's start-up capital can be said to be brought by the rock shark, at least that's how Mr. Gray Rock came.
So Tianlan asked for some information about the troll boss on the side. And Lan Wuxin himself has no intention of the boss, and he feels the grace of their rescue, but he has no resistance to this, it can be said that he knows everything and says everything.
Only the alchemist was a little tired of this, he always felt that this somewhat annoying little girl had stolen what belonged to them, but he was too embarrassed to speak up because Attila was on the side.
But soon he didn't care about that.
As Sylvid walked into the conference room with the make-up Lady Papamo, and her maid followed as usual, the three pushed the door open, and the adventurers were silent for a moment.
The alchemist's mouth opened even more involuntarily.
The young man originally thought that Attila was amazing enough, but the moment he saw the ship's miss, he almost felt as if he had been electrocuted, and subconsciously stood up from his position.
This guy's actions naturally can't escape the azure eyes, as a 'negotiator', she actually found out that this person is unhappy with her, but she doesn't care about these - anyway, she is asking Lan Wuxin, not this guy.
Sylvid was used to such a gaze, so she only smiled slightly, and then cast an inquiring look at Attila, she was asking if Fang Ou and Baggins had returned.
Miss Elf shook her head: "Ed, they're still in the bilge. ”
Sylvade bowed slightly.
And the young man was looking straight at Sylvid's face, and naturally noticed this detail, and couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, but he didn't show it, and only pretended to be curious and asked Attila on the side: "May I ask if this Mr. Ed is also a person on the ship?" ”
Lan Wuxin couldn't help frowning when he heard this, this question was very impolite, the other party pulled them at a critical time and allowed them to get on the boat, at this time, as guests, they obviously shouldn't ask questions.
The others were obviously aware of this, and their faces couldn't help but show a look of dismay.
Only Azure didn't wait for Attila to answer, and then replied with a roll of her eyes: "Yes, he is the alchemist on our ship, and Brother Ed was a trainee alchemist when he joined the team." ”
When the young man heard this, he paused for a moment, and finally managed to hold back the excitement in his heart—he almost cried out in his heart God bless, which was also too coincidental.
The other party is actually an alchemist with the same team as him, and he is just a trainee alchemist. But he is different, not only is he backed by a fairly good guild, but he is also a student of Master Pudra of the Dulun Craftsmen Association - the trainee alchemist of the Dulun Artisans Association may not be a big deal, but the student of Master Pudra is definitely a golden sign in the south of the Great Valley.
Of course, his status as a student naturally came from a letter of recommendation from the guild, but that didn't matter.
He came to Tibia Creek this time, in fact, it was for the troll Mountain Kirk, but the guild's team was a little impatient to wait, out of boredom, he joined such a team to find the whereabouts of Mountain Kork, to see if he could get some first-hand information.
But he didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and this team was a little unimaginable, and he almost put himself in it.
It's just that he didn't think that the blessings and misfortunes depended on each other, and he actually met such a team, he only felt that the other party had such a large floating platform, plus so many people's magic guides needed maintenance, and it was definitely not enough to rely on a trainee alchemist.
And as long as he shows his identity as a student of Master Pudra, the other party will have to think about it anyway, right?
As for how to find a way to get rid of that guy named Ed in the future, he naturally has a way-
As soon as he thought of this, the young man's heart could not help but give birth to infinite hope, and even the sky blue, which provided this information, was more than ten times more lovely in his eyes, so he stood up with confidence and spoke:
"I see, speaking of which, I'm also an alchemist, I wonder if you still lack alchemists with your team?"
"Madel, be careful," Lan Wuxin stood up and interrupted the young man—not to mention that the other party's thoughts were too obvious, and it almost made him a little disgusted; Not to mention that the other party is still nominally in his team now, although it is only a temporary team, but the other party's remarks are too indifferent to his captain: "Don't forget that I am your captain." ”
The young man spread his hands, he didn't dare to really break the team agreement—Lady Roman's concern was not fun, and he replied with some contempt, "Well, Mr. Captain, I don't need you to remind me of this." But I'll have to think about the rest of the matter, and we'll only get to the Masunk Creek station—"
Lan Wuxin moved his mouth, and was about to say something more, but it was at this moment, all of a sudden, everyone heard a loud noise.
Everyone in the conference room turned around in unison, and saw the closed bilge door on the deck outside the window, and suddenly flew high with a 'bang', tumbling and crashing into the stern behind it, curling in the wind and snow, and disappearing into the darkness behind the platform in an instant.
Then a flying claw flew straight out from below, dragging a long cable, and the front of the claw seemed to grasp a mass of figures, and slammed against the wooden wall outside.
A loud bang was followed by a vibration that shook the entire conference room.
"Vampires!"
Several of the adventurers drew their swords nervously - they could see clearly that it was a vampire who was being held by the flying claws. How many of them have ventured in the tibia forest all year round and never died at the hands of a vampire?
These high-level undead are also one of the few most forbidden beings in this forest, and no one wants to encounter such a thing in the wild.
But what Lan Wuxin and the others never expected was that the vampire actually screamed, as if he had encountered something terrible, and after a collision, he suddenly fell apart, turned into countless bats and flew out far away.
The only thing left was the claw with the cable, which swayed from side to side in full view of everyone, and then retracted under the bilge little by little, and there was a slight 'click' sound from below.
The crowd opened their mouths.
They've seen flying claws, but they obviously aren't the ones they are used to moving on their own - and they look like a pair of thick metal gloves, would ordinary people use this thing to make flying claws?
Only Lan Wuxin suddenly understood what it was.
Flexible Build-up –
But the others were apparently not slow to react, and they thought of a possibility at the same time and blurted out: "...... Battle Craftsman!? ”
In the conference room, the alchemist took a step back, his face darkened, and suddenly he felt that the script had not developed as he had imagined.
Unless, there is a third alchemist on this ship.
……
