No matter who auctioned the dragon's blood for 1,000 gold coins, Lin Ling wanted to thank him well.

The more properties you buy, the greater the overhead.

In the absence of additional income, Lin Ling's current profit is only enough for him to pay the salaries and wear and tear of NPC employees, property repair costs, and other expenses. He had planned to divert the proceeds from the three fishing ports to the expansion of the Blue Castle. However, since the wronged boss is willing to spend 1,000 gold coins to buy a bottle of dragon blood that he still has more than 100 bottles of dragon blood, he doesn't mind hanging out a few more bottles of dragon blood, and use the money to subsidize the expansion of Blue Castle and the establishment of fluorescent stone mines.

After receiving the money from the Astral Vending Machine, Lin Ling hung up two more bottles of dragon blood. He snapped four energy blocking talismans, leaving two in his backpack and the other two to the nail that the high-ranking warlock Sally had planted beside him, the succubus Agatha.

"No, I can't ......" the succubus Agatha grabbed the two energy blocking talismans as if she was clutching a hot potato, as if she wanted to return the talisman to him.

"You need it."

Lin Ling didn't use the succubus Agatha as a one-time consumable. Even if he wanted to, the true owner of the succubus would not agree. He activated the parchment scroll given to him by Archmage Boguch, tore a dimensional rift in the air leading to the Magic Temple, and led the succubus Agatha through the dimensional rift and into the Magic Temple.

As soon as he stepped into the realm of the Magic Temple, Lin Ling felt a frenzy of mana surging wildly. He took a deep breath and activated the energy barrier amulet.

System Prompt: You have activated the Energy Barrier Charm.

A beam of arcane light and shadow burst in a mana frenzy.

Just as the four basic elements of earth, sea, fire, and hurricane have materialized elements, arcane energy also has materialized elements—arcane magic.

The magic temple was originally the arcane plane where arcane magic thrived, and Natalia, the weaver in the original Council of Five, used the power of magic to kill the arcane ancestor and origin dragon Anun, who was in charge of the arcane plane, and transformed the arcane plane into a magical temple, which can be regarded as writing a new chapter for arcane magic.

However, the death of the Origin Dragon Anun did not make the Arcane group disappear.

These elemental individuals who survive on the devouring arcane energy still roam the unknown corners of the Magic Temple, and whenever the shielding runes on the top of the Magic Temple are weakened, they reappear in the Magic Temple with the wind of mana, in an effort to resurrect the Arcane Progenitors.

The faint light and shadow created by the Energy Barrier Charm absorbs the arcane arrows hidden within the mana frenzy.

"Agatha, the shadows move."

Lin Ling raised his hand to the direction where the Arcane Demon was located, he also had 2 groups of Demon Party Secret Elixir - Energy Protection Elixir on his body, the arcane damage that the Elixir could absorb was the same as the Energy Barrier Talisman, and the interval between use was also 30 seconds, and the interval of use was not shared. As long as he uses it properly, it can be completely seamless for energy protection.

Unfortunately, the price of the Energy Protection Flask and the Energy Protection Barrier Charm is so expensive that even if they are used at the same time, they can only absorb up to 1,000 Arcane damage at a time.

It's feasible to deal with low-level arcane mages, but it's quite frustrating to meet an arcane mage of the same level as yourself.

Lin Ling didn't think that there were arcane mages weaker than him in the Eternal Night Council, the innate abilities of the blood clan, especially the blood mages, were too strong.

At this moment, another arcane arrow shot out of Lin Ling's sight, piercing through the absorption shield under the energy barrier talisman. He hurriedly drank the energy protection potion, creating a new shield against arcane arrows from the shadows.

"Sneaky."

Lin Ling muttered, and suddenly used his flame wings to pounce in the direction where the arcane arrow was fired.

－396！

Furious flames swept all around, and a white-haired arcane demon emerged from the frenzy of mana. It let out a silent roar, and a layer of black mist appeared in front of it, obscuring Lin Ling's gaze and its figure.

The physical impact damage of the Flame Wings is absorbed by the Black Mist.

"Void Shield?" Lin Ling thought of an evil spell with an extremely high damage absorption ability, he frowned, and tried to give an order to the succubus who came with him, "Agatha, give me the shield to split this layer of prisoner." ”

Unlike other succubi, the well-built Agatha uses a weapon that is a decapitating greatsword. She took a big step at the moment when Lin Ling issued the order, revealing her toned body from the shadows, and with the Chaos Grip, she unfurled the Void Shield with a sword.

The Arcane Demon, who was also a level 19 unit, immediately let out a scream and paralyzed the succubus Agatha with a sonic boom.

Lin Ling pursed his lips and raised his hand.

The arcane light coalesced into a light purple dazzle at his fingertips, piercing through the arcane demon's body.

－1000！

Even if the Arcane Demon has a high Arcane Damage Resistance, it will not be able to withstand the powerful damage of the Level 9 Arcane Missile. Its body curled up into a shining crystal in a terrifying howl and fell into Lin Ling's hands.

This is where the power of the Arcane Core, the rune barrier of the Magic Temple, comes from.

"Follow me."

As soon as the arcane demon died, the mana frenzy suddenly subsided.

A huge hall was exposed in the eyes of Lin Ling and the succubus Agatha, and that hall had a hollow dome, and on top of the dome was a sword staff with countless runes entwined, and the crystal embedded in the end of the sword staff shimmered with a dim luster, maintaining a weak rune barrier.

The Arcane Demons roaming this plane gaze out into the dark astral plane, the Temple of Magic, the former home of the Arcane Elementals.

Lin Ling stepped on a spiral staircase made of starlight and walked to the bottom of the Magic Temple.

According to the mission briefing, he must clear at least three stacks of Arcane Demons and collect all the Arcane Cores dropped by Arcane Demons to recharge the Rune Barrier in order to complete the Tier 2 Mandatory Mission.

If possible, he would also go to find the relics of Archmage Li Oumeng's apprentice.

"Be careful, my lord, I feel the breath of darkness." The succubus Agatha gave Lin Ling a warning.

"The breath of darkness?"

Lin Ling glanced at the succubus with a fiery body, and thought to himself that the darkest aura here should be you, right?

"It's the smell of corruption." The succubus Agatha twitched her delicate nose, as if she had smelled something special from the pervasive breeze of mana.

"On the third floor, I feel that on the third floor of the Magic Temple, there is a strong smell of corruption." Succubus Agatha said with certainty.

Hint: You have triggered a new quest: Smell of Corruption.

Trigger Quest: Smell of Corruption;

Mission Description: Agatha the Succubus swears that she smells the smell of corruption coming from the third floor of the Magic Temple, but it's up to you to act.

Note that your actions will most likely cause your original tasks to change.

"Let's go to the first layer first, I'll have to collect some arcane cores."

Lin Ling didn't say to go to the third layer, nor did he say no. Due to the weakening of the rune shield, the magical effect that shrouded the walls of the Magic Sanctuary had largely dissipated, and he easily passed through the thick walls of the Enchanted Sanctuary and entered the first floor of the Temple using phase movement.

The environment of the temple on the first floor was similar to when he had come before.

The starlight penetrated into the hall through the hollow pattern on the dome, shining on the bright characters embedded in the walls around the hall, and the characters evolved into a figure under the starlight, using all kinds of magic that he knew or did not know, interweaving a mana in the hall.

The second floor and the higher floors were all hidden by special powers, and if it weren't for the parchment given to him by the archmage Boguchi, he probably wouldn't even be able to see the stairs leading to the second floor.

A large number of arcane demons gather on the first floor of the Magic Temple, and they use arcane energy to steal bright characters depicted on the walls, and learn the magic written on the walls in a special way.

"Agatha, what spells do you have?"

Lin Ling didn't attack immediately, but asked the succubus Agatha, who was also using phase movement to pass through the walls of the magic temple, "High-level warlock Sally said that you will follow my orders, just like Simone. I wonder how your spells differ from Simone's. ”

"According to the contract rules laid down by Lord Sharil, please forgive me for not being able to tell you the details of my situation, my lord." Succubus Agatha lowered her head, her reddened horns glittered in the starlight, and the shape of the horns reminded Lin Ling of the red dragon flying under the starry sky......

The horns that grew on Agatha's head resembled those of a dragon.

"Unlike Simone, I'm a combat-savvy guard." The succubus Agatha tried to use words to tell Lin Ling about her proficient combat skills. "I'm good at Chaos Grip when dealing with a single enemy with a magic shield, and when dealing with multiple crowd targets, I want you to command me to use Chaos Split, and I can also shadow and phase move, the latter of which helps me quickly move through obstacles." ”

"Don't you have any special spells? I mean, slowdown, or control spells like stun or paralysis? Lin Ling frowned, the spells that the succubus Agatha knew were all damage spells, and against the Arcane Demon, he was not short of damage, what he lacked was continuous control type state magic.

"I'm a combat-savvy guard." Succubus Agatha repeated.

That's not going to happen.

"Take this." Lin Ling sighed, took out the "Demon Party Secret Elixir-Energy Protection Elixir" and stuffed a set of it to the succubus Agatha. At this time, he can only weaken the Arcane Demon and let the succubus Agatha play the protagonist of the damage output.

"You've got about 16 seconds of safe time, calculate it yourself." Lin Ling didn't expect the succubus Agatha's logical intelligence to understand his tactical intentions, so he just had to tell the succubus that she had 16 seconds of safe time. He took out the Eye of the White Dragon, activating the Ancient Will without activating the Focused Shot.

System Tip: You have activated Ancient Will, which increases your maximum mana by 1090 and increases additional spell power by 206 for 22 seconds.

The light and shadow of Senyu's mana hovered beside Lin Ling, and the dark chaos enveloped him inside, leaking only two blood-red eyes, staring closely at the Arcane Demon that occupied the first layer of the magic temple.

"Let's get started."

Lin Ling raised his arm high, dealing with a level 19 arcane demon with only 1200 health, the blizzard in the state of ancient will (chaos) was enough.

The part that is not enough damage, the succubus Agatha will make up for him.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At night, there was a sudden incident, and a classmate who had not been in touch for a long time suddenly called me and told me that she wanted to divorce her wife, because her wife was a minotaur......

We talked for 4 hours, and I couldn't help but say that I was going to sleep before hanging up the phone.

I actually slept for 5 hours yesterday and I couldn't help but want to sleep.

If you don't update it before 4 o'clock, the next chapter will be put on tomorrow afternoon.
