Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter 22: The End of Arugao (3)
Such a scene made Melganis very uncomfortable.
If he could, he really wanted to kill Yu Bin, the damned undead, on the spot, since the teacher Antonidas gave him the task of finding the Book of your, he, the famous young archmage of Dalaran, didn't know how much he had suffered on this little undead who could strangle with one hand, but every time the two met, it almost ended in a fiasco for Melganis.
The first time was in the Shadow Fang Castle, where Yu Bin infiltrated the Mage Tower while he was in a spell confrontation with Arugao, which eventually led to the whereabouts of the Book of your. He himself even suffered a lot of damage in that confrontation, and the magic shock cost a lot of money, and it was finally calmed down by the teacher's intervention.
The second time made Melganis even more angry, and he wanted to go to Kodila to inquire about the whereabouts of the Book of your, but he didn't expect to run into this damn guy, and he also saw with his own eyes that this undead gave the Book of your, which he had been tracking for a long time, to the witch of Elvia, and he himself was beaten by the shadow witch, and he barely escaped by relying on the magic beacon left by Antonidas.
If these two collisions were due to Melganis's own lack of ability, then the third encounter made him a little frightened. At the Jedar Pass, he saw the lowly undead standing alongside the terrifying lich of Les Frostwhisper, who was helpless even to his teacher, the legendary archmage Antonidas.
At this moment, the reason why Melganis did not show up and desperately attacked Yu Bin was partly because the important target of Arugao was being captured by Yu Bin, but more because he was worried that the legendary lich of Les Frost was nearby.
Tibest had already shifted his attention from Arugao to Melganis and Yu Bin, and from the conversation just now, the Grand Knight Captain had sensed that there was a secret behind this, and this secret was probably related to the appearance of the Werewolf Plague and Dalaran. So he didn't want to let go of this opportunity to let Melganis bury the secret again.
A hero-level archmage, a hero-level paladin, after the breath of the gods disappeared without a trace, the coercion from the hero-level powerhouse was the most obvious signal here. During the three-way standoff, countless figures emerged from the forest, half-encircling the clearing.
Yu Bin just glanced at it, and knew that these guys who appeared one after another were all players. Obviously, these guys with a keen sense of smell deduced some information from the clues of Shadowfang Castle, and then couldn't wait to chase after them. After all, no one wants to give up the kill reward of the big boss of Arugao, even if they know that they have little hope, but what if they steal a sneak peek at the bottom of Lady Luck's skirt?
"Who's that guy? It looks amazing! It's a-for-tat confrontation with Tibest! ”
"That one next to him is the Archmage of Dalaran, right? Sure enough, the formal mage robe is just good-looking! But is this guy watching a show? Why not get your hands dirty? ”
"Hey, those guys are undead, right? Why are undead players here? ”
The strange situation in the clearing discouraged the surrounding players from making rash moves, but that didn't stop them from speculating about what was going on here. Compared to the two hero-level existences of Tibest and Melganis, these players are obviously more interested in Yu Bin, who can trample the werewolf Arugao under his feet.
Similar to the skill of detecting evil, it is almost constantly thrown at Yu Bin, although because of Yu Bin's high soul energy, the chance of success is very small, but under the continuous insistence of players, Yu Bin's identity is still caught.
Yu Bin didn't care about the small movements of these players, and found that Melganis seemed to be afraid of something, and did not rush up to snatch Arugao who was trampled on the ground by him at the first time, he did not hesitate to seize this opportunity, turned his head to Arugao, who was lying on the ground and was dying, and asked, "Where did you know that the Book of your can be used to summon the shadow werewolves of the shadow plane?" ”
Melganis, who was about to make a move, actually endured the desire to do it after hearing the question asked by Yu Bin, which surprised Tibest, who was ready to intercept on the side. He realized that the answer to this question would most likely reveal the secrets of the Werewolf Scourge, so he pointed his sword at Melganis while focusing all his attention on Bin and Arugo.
"Ahem! Cough! Humble fools! Do you want to covet this power too? The pain from the wounds on his body, large and small, combined with the weakness caused by the constant bleeding, made Arugao unable to cough up much blood, and he could feel that his life was passing by rapidly. Yu Bin's question made him think that the undead in front of him was also here to covet the power he had, "Ridiculous idiot! I grew up in Dalaran and the power of magic is omnipotent! From Dalaran's books, I found a magical notebook on the shadow plane, which recorded the knowledge of how to use the Book of your to open spatial passages and control shadow creatures. ”
Arugao didn't care that these secrets were known to the undead, and he even wanted to spread them all so that more people could fight Dalaran's idea. If it weren't for the fact that those archmages always looked down on him, he wouldn't have chosen to follow this path.
The damned undead in front of him made him hate, but so did the high-ranking mages in Dalaran, and Arugao didn't mind using this secret in exchange for their deaths.
Yu Bin's eyes narrowed: "Is the author of that notebook called Kel'thugad?" ”
Arugao was surprised why Bin would ask this, and he thought that the undead would ask him about the whereabouts of the notebook, or directly from him the secret of how to control the shadow creatures.
"That's right! That was the most famous genius mage in the history of Dalaran! The notebook says ......"
Without waiting for Arugao to finish speaking, Yu Bin directly pulled out the rune sword and inserted it into Arugao's heart!
Everyone, whether it was Melganis, Tibbest, or the players around them, and even Lei Guang and Keldila who were standing on the side, all subconsciously thought that Yu Bin would find a way to torture the secret of controlling the shadow creature from Arugao's mouth, no one expected that Yu Bin would be so decisive and clean, and at the moment when the secret was about to be revealed, he shot to kill this werewolf.
Melganis subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but Tibest was very sorry, because he probably lost the opportunity to learn the cause of the werewolf plague. The most angry are the players around them, who are both sorry that they couldn't learn the secret and angry that they lost the boss's kill.
In the eyes of today's players, even if it's just a low-level boss, it's worth fighting for with all their might, let alone this boss who is at least heroic! It is unimaginable how much experience and benefits Yu Bin can gain from killing Arugao with his own hands! Just thinking about that makes those players' eyes red!
Just when the players were eager to rush forward and tear Yu Bin apart, Tibest shook the long sword in his hand, and the more powerful coercion swept through the audience. Although Arugao's death made him have few regrets, the body of the culprit must be brought back by him, and the Holy See of Light needs this corpse to prove the victory of the expedition.
He took a step forward, and the long sword in his hand pointed at Yu Bin: "Undead, give me that corpse, I can give you a decent death!" ”
Yu Bin didn't care about Tibest's threat, but smiled at Melganis on the other side and asked, "Your Excellency Melganis, it seems that you can't take a living Arugao back to Dalaran to recover your life. ”
Melganis gritted his teeth and glared at Yu Bin, his mission had failed again, although Arugao did not reveal much of Dalaran's secrets, but correspondingly, Dalaran could not interrogate the dead Arugao to extract more information. Much of the inside story of the werewolf plague will be wiped out with Arugao's death, and no one will ever be able to uncover the secrets behind it. To others, this may not be important, but for Dalaran, the failure of this mission would have made them extremely passive.
His teacher, Antonidas, was almost certain that there was someone behind the werewolf plague in the Silverpine Forest and the Lich Rebellion in the kingdom of Virgil. And the reason why he came here was to arrest Arugao back and interrogate who was behind the scenes.
Now, everything is covered up with the death of Arugao! How could this make Melganis not grit his teeth with hatred!
What's more, Yu Bin also mocked him! This undead who has died a thousand times and ten thousand times!
So he's ready to get his hands dirty! Now that Arugao is dead, it means that Yu Bin no longer has anything in his hand that is enough to make him throw a rat trap. Sure, the Lich of Les Frostwhisper might appear, but Melganis still doesn't want to believe that a legendary lich would go out of his way to save a humble little undead! What's more, there is also Tibest, a paladin, who can be his helper.
If Arugao hadn't died, Tibbest, who wanted to explore the secret, might not have stood with him. But now that Arugao is dead, there is no doubt that this paladin will be on the same side as him.
A heroic paladin who slowly stepped forward, oh no, after the battle in Shadowfang Castle, this paladin faintly had the appearance of breaking through to the legendary level. There is also a hero-level archmage with awe-inspiring killing intent and surging magic power on his body. As long as you have brains, you will think that Yu Bin and the others standing on the small dirt bag are already in a catastrophe.
Although disappointed, angry, and regretful, the players around them wisely stopped rushing forward and sat back to see how the damn undead player died!
Faced with such a desperate situation, Yu Bin neither turned his head and fled, nor did he tremble. Because he had already gotten that last piece of the puzzle from Arugao's mouth, even if he died here, he had no regrets. Still, he wanted to struggle as hard as he could.
Showing a bright smile towards Tibest, who was approaching step by step, Yu Bin didn't even put on a defensive posture, and the rune sword in his hand directly withdrew the scabbard: "Your Excellency Tibest, as you can see, I am just a humble little undead, I didn't expect to be so honored to be killed by you, the great knight chief, in person!" ”
"Looks like it's not just me trying to kill you, little one!" From the rising fluctuations of Merganis's mana behind him, Tibest knew that even if he didn't make a move, the archmage of Dalaran would do it. This undead can't escape at all, so the most important thing for him now is to grab Arugao's corpse.
"Your Excellency Melganis is an old friend of mine, and without his help, I am afraid that I would not be able to stand in front of you like this!" Yu Bin never forgot to poison Melganis, and this sentence once again made the first Buddha ascend to heaven and the second Buddha of the great mage's anger was born.
Of course, this is also true. If it weren't for the appearance of Melganis, Yu Bin would not have succeeded in snatching the Book of your from Aru's master, which eventually led to the current result. In a sense, this archmage did Yu Bin a great favor.
But despite Melganis's anger and desire to kill the damned undead right now, the only sanity he had left made him choose to wait and see, hoping that Tibest would strike first to see if the lich was hiding nearby.
"So, in order to thank Your Excellency Melganis, and also to pay tribute to Your Excellency Tibest, I have specially prepared a small gift, I hope you two will like it!"
As soon as Yu Bin's words fell, a violent explosion sounded from the direction of Shadow Fang Castle, the explosion was obviously very strong, and the vibration caused by it could even span a distance of more than ten kilometers, making Tibest feel that the ground under his feet trembled significantly.
This sudden surprise made everyone can't help but look at the Silver Tooth Castle, and the flames of the explosion between them rose up, forming a huge dust cloud in the air, and in the center of the dust cloud, some purple lightning was faintly visible crisscrossing there, and it became thicker and thicker.
Melganis was the first to react, and he said loudly in an incredulous tone: "You madman! You've detonated the circle that communicates the shadow planes! Do you know what you're doing? ”
"Of course I do! The mana turbulence will tear through the thin film of space between the two planes, creating a spatial passage large enough! Yu Bin shrugged his shoulders indifferently, this was originally his plan, and after guiding Tibest to catch up with Arugao, the past followed the wind and secretly infiltrated the chaotic Shadow Fang Castle, and according to Yu Bin's instructions, he put three pieces of death essence into the magic circle. The massive force of death instantly broke the balance of magic within the circle, eventually leading to an explosion.
Tibest's eyes were about to open when he heard this. You must know that after Haka's clone was imprisoned and taken away by Kel'thugad, without the coercion of the divine breath, the expeditionary force began to attack Shadowfang Castle again, and at this time, the wolf king Nandus and Devourer Fenrus fled directly back to the shadow plane because of their injuries, which made the werewolves in the castle leaderless and the strength of the counterattack greatly weakened. Seeing this, Tibest was able to leave the camp with confidence and chase after the fleeing Arugao.
The legendary assassin Pierre had already traveled to the edge of the Hillsbrad Hills to find out the reason for the appearance of the divine aura.
Therefore, in today's expeditionary force, only two high-end combat forces can be called Tadelar and Matthew Slenin, the former is a priest and the latter is an alchemist, and neither of them has the ability to close the spatial passage that is constantly expanding due to the explosion.
As for Kudran Brutehammer, a heroic dwarf, he has already taken his people to escort the seriously injured Dalton and Vane to Southsea Town for recuperation.
The thought that the soldiers of the expeditionary force would be washed away by the magic from the shadow plane, and might even encounter a large number of enemies from the shadow plane, the great knight couldn't help but worry.
"I wonder if you're still happy with my gift? Your soldiers are looking forward to you! Yu Bin said as he made a gesture of please, which made Tibest feel the same as Melganis!
