Chapter Sixty-Three: Archmage Denken
Rhine specialty, cherry spirits.
Cherry Spirits is a failed alchemical creation, and it is rumored that the alchemist who created Cherry Spirits originally intended to create a confessional potion, but accidentally added cherries to the potion as red snake eyes, resulting in a fragrant, versatile Cherry Spirit.
Alchemist is a title that can only be earned by those who have practiced two or more crafting skills to the master's level. The potions, equipment, items, or scrolls they create are magically useful, as well as a vast expanse of plasticity.
In other words, a bottle of cherry spirit, brewed in strict accordance with the ancient recipe, with a red snake eye, can be transformed into the confession potion that the alchemist is trying to create.
The red snake eye is not an animal eye, but an animal clotted fat produced by a strange crafting skill.
Of course, Lin Ling didn't have red snake eyes. But he had wolf meat, mana dust, broken fur, and worthless gems of all colors, the main material for the Red Snake Eye. He asked Yama Shark to guard Archmage Dengken, while he stepped out of the operation range of the high-level spell invalidation enchantment, used his expert ice magic to freeze and shatter those items, stuffed them all into cherry liquor, shook them up and down a few times, and handed them to Yama Shark: "Give our Archmage Dengken some water." ”
"You just ...... Destroyed those props? ”
The Yama Shark was stunned by Lin Ling's series of subtle techniques.
"It's smashing." Lin Ling thought that Yan Luoxia, the guild leader, was really embarrassed, and he didn't even know basic common sense. He patiently explained, "These items that can be used to produce skills have a hidden durability, the same as the equipment you and I wear, once the durability is broken, they will shatter into a pile of scum like the equipment, and the equipment will be destroyed, but they can still be used." Knocking them down to freezing is the easiest way to crush them, but the disadvantage is that the particles obtained are too coarse and not as fine as they are ground out. ”
Yama Shark rolled his eyes, though he was not well-versed in the knowledge of life skills. But he's sure he's never heard from a life skill-focused player about "this easiest way to smash."
"Pour it into him." Lin Ling noticed that Archmage Deng Ken was breathing, and knew that he was about to wake up.
A conscious archmage would not be affected by such a second-rate confession.
Yama pulled out his horseshoe toe, pried open Archmage Denken's mouth, poured the cloudy cherry liquor on the sword, and sent it into Archmage Denken's mouth.
"Rude." Lin Ling shook his head, he had already foreseen what kind of retribution the Yama Shark would receive.
"Ahem". Archmage Denken suddenly coughed violently, and squirted all the cherry liquor in his mouth onto the face of the Yama shark. He gasped for a moment, snorted like a revived dragon, snorted with a fiery breath, lit the wine on the face of the Yama shark, and sprayed his face full of flames.
Yama Shark screamed and covered her face and rushed out of the dungeon, looking for a place to put out the fire.
Lin Ling applauded: "It is worthy of being an archmage, and he can still use the fire breath technique under the shroud of the ineffective enchantment of high-level spells. ”
"The high spell invalidation enchantment can't seal the strength in my heart, why am I telling you this? Who are you? Young mage? Why is it here? ”
Archmage Denken opened his eyes, his cloudy pupils revealing a dazed glow, as if he had been affected by a confessional agent.
"In the name of Archmage Boguqi, I have come to investigate whether the Golden Grain Rice has the effect of mana restoration." Lin Ling was worried that Archmage Dengken's weakness was disguised, and deliberately told the truth to prevent Archmage Dengken from using soul retrieval to read his "memory" and probe his background identity like that dragon lord Soranitaz.
"Golden Grain? It was the seed of the devil, the seed of rice that could only be fed with human blood. In the past, many young people came to investigate, and without exception, they buried them in the ground with the demon seed, and bred them into real golden rice, and the villains of the monastery used the bread made from it to fool the mage inspectors. If you wish, you can dig through the dirt in the test field No. 1, where the corpses of some paladins are buried...... Strange, why am I telling you this? I remember I didn't know you, Mage. ”
Archmage Denken was in a state of confusion.
System Prompt: The goal of the quest "Journey to the Golden Valley" has been changed, please bring the evidence and talk to Magister Richard to complete the quest.
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Ling finally felt at ease, and the career task was almost over. He breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to talk to Archmage Denken, "Let's talk about fire magic." ”
"Fire, an ever-changing element, but precisely because it is an element, it will be restrained, weakened, strengthened, and explodes." A rumbling sound sounded in Archmage Denken's stomach, and he lowered his head and looked at the chains bound to his body, "If I turn into fire, there will be no chains in this world that can trap me, no ......"
"I've tried to solve some real problems for you, but I don't have the right magic to hunt." Lin Ling gouged out his ears, he noticed that a level 2 player cleaning appeared at the entrance of the dungeon, the guy probably heard the sound and was looking inside curiously.
The pitch-black dungeon is not afraid of anyone's prying eyes.
Asparagus Roast Chicken should have learned the Flame Explosion technique only when he happened to have an ADHD attack while doing the task of cleaning the basement, and ran into the dungeon and met the hungry archmage Denken.
Of course, this may have something to do with his strange ID.
"There was once a young mage, I should say a young elf who said this to me, but all he brought back was a pile of coke, and then another knight and two of his servants came to me and brought me a delicious roast feast, but all I wanted was bread." Archmage Dengken asked Lin Ling with a wistful expression, "Do you have bread?" Mage? ”
Bread?
Lin Ling smiled dumbly, white bread and spice bread are foods that accompany the player for a lifetime, and eating these foods can continue to speed up the recovery of health while resting, and drinking spring water and juice to speed up the recovery of mana. He took a piece of spiced bread from his backpack and shoved it into Archmage Denken's mouth.
"The taste of nostalgia." Archmage Denken said vaguely, "I once wrote a book of fire explosion magic for the abbot, but unfortunately my hands are not free to move at the moment...... I think I can only teach you the most basic level 1 flame blast technique to express my gratitude. ”
"No, it doesn't have to be a fire blast, I'd be grateful if you would tell me where your spell books are hidden." Lin Ling showed a wicked smile, he remembered that the abbot's lounge was in the left corridor on the second floor, although it was locked, but there was no high-level spell invalidation enchantment there, and the invisibility technique plus percussion technique could solve all the troubles.
In contrast, he was more concerned about where Archmage Denken had hidden his spell books.
Each archmage will have at least one spell book, and the mage can remove the pages with mana in them by dismanting the pages and adding them to their spell books, expanding the variety of non-combat magic and improving the quality of the spell books. NPC mages often like to keep their treasures and spellbooks together.
"I once built a research lab deep in the sewers of Rhine City to make Elixir of Enlightenment, where I tamed a kobold tribe to act as a guard and servant for me, but why am I telling you this? Young mage? Who are you? Archmage Deng Ken looked at Lin Ling blankly, the confused look in his eyes gradually replaced by the essence of mana, "What did I say to you just now?" ”
The efficacy of the confession agent is gone.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Archmage Denken."
Lin Ling smiled and shook his head, walked out of the dungeon, and returned to the ground.
In front of the statue of the Sage used to camouflage the entrance to the dungeon, Yama Shark was entangled with a dozen monastery guards, his face still covered with water stains and burns, as if he was found by the guards while looking for water to extinguish the fire, and had to fight.
The equipment on the Yama Shark is very luxurious, and he has a mid-level healing potion on his body, and the number of monastery guards at level 10 is doubled, so he should not be able to stay.
Lin Ling thought about it, it was better to let the battle of the Yama Shark be solved by the Yama Shark itself. He raised his hand to cast the invisibility spell, swaggered past the Yama shark, walked up the stairs like a leisurely walk, came to the left corridor on the second floor, and found the abbot's exclusive lounge, and looked at a level 10 elite guarding the door, Shield Guardian Kato, with some headaches.
Shielddefenders are defensive-minded warriors with a strong ability to absorb and bounce damage, making them as difficult to bite as a hedgehog.
Lin Ling grinned and decided to try the sound effect of the percussion technique, whether it was as strong as it was written in the magic description. He pointed to the vase by the cloister door on the left and used a percussion technique.
Syllable!
The percussion technique shattered the vase, and the monastery guards patrolling the corridors were simultaneously attracted by the strange noise and turned their gaze to that side.
It seems that there is a play.
Lin Ling stretched out his hand and pointed to the candlestick placed on the edge of the window.
The percussion pushed the candlestick off the window edge and landed on the ground, and the lit candle ignited the beautiful carpet.
"Fight the fire!" The light of the fire caught the attention of Kato, the shield defender, who ran briskly, lifting his left foot in spike riding boots and stepping on the burning carpet in an attempt to extinguish the flames.
Lin Ling took the opportunity to approach the lounge, unlocked the door with a percussion technique, dodged into the door, and locked the door from the inside.
"Who are you?"
A surprised woman's voice sounded from behind Lin Ling, and without thinking about it, he threw a nether impact behind him, bombarding the woman's abdomen.
Baroness Gerale: 10th class gentry; Health: 160/300.
"Abbot's lover?" Lin Ling turned around and looked at the almost half-naked noblewoman, spread his five fingers, and said with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to what he will look like when he sees you being dug out of the field." ”
A silver force field pierced Baroness Gerally's body, holding her cries for help down her throat forever.
"The mission items are in hand, and the No. 1 test field is converged." Lin Ling sent a secret message to Yan Luo Shark, "I forgot to tell you, there is a staircase behind you leading to the second floor, and there is a water tank for feeding horses under the terrace on the second floor, it is better to fall half to death than to be bitten to death by ants." ”
"Zero! I remember you! Yama replied through gritted teeth.
Lin Ling shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively. He searched the common room for a few moments, and found a locked silver treasure chest under the body of Baroness Gerale.
A silver-quality treasure chest that contains at least one silver-quality item.
Lin Ling used the percussion technique to open the treasure chest, and as soon as he touched it, a pleasant system prompt sounded in his ears.
System Prompt: You have obtained the Spellbook: A Guide to Flame Blasting - By Dunken; "Design of the Making of Strange Things: Energy Core"; The handle of the lightning scepter;
You have 25 gold.
