……

A few hours later, the study of the villa mansion.

The door of the room was tightly closed, and the lampstand on the wall placed a magic crystal that replaced the candle, and the white light stretched the figure of Urs behind the desk and the part of the chair in the direction of the side, and the curtain of the window had been drawn tightly by the black-haired young man, and on the face of the desk was now in front of him an open diary, an earth-gray metal ring, a small vial of blue alchemical potions, and several scrolls.

It was late at night.

The elven swordsman who came on behalf of the adventurers' guild had already left the adventurers' rich stronghold with the answer he wanted, and the other members of the thorn squad had also slept and rested at this time, except for the black-haired young man who couldn't sleep because he wanted to regulate the thoughts in his mind.

He looked at the things on the table without saying a word, the open diary was the adventure log he used to record his experiences in this life, the earthy gray metal ring was the +2 enchantment level Lurker's Ring, the vial of blue potion was the "Intermediate Resistance Elixir" that Draco had awarded to his group on behalf of the Guild, and the remaining parchment scrolls were each containing magic scrolls containing different spells, which Draco had claimed to everyone in the small council room a few hours ago that it was Victordor's magical support to the Thorns.

There are four of those scrolls, and the stored spells are "Spell Casting", "True Gaze", "Finger of Death", and "Magic Strike" -

Mage 4 Ring Spell - Curse (Necromancy): Casts a magic curse on the target creature, causing it to receive a -4 penalty for all checks for the next period of time, or a -6 weaken for a single stat.

Mage 6 Ring Spell - True Gaze (Prophecy): The recipient can see everything as it is.

Mage 7 Ring Spell - Finger of Death (Necromancy): Kills a living target creature at close range. If target creature is exempt, it takes negative energy damage equal to 3d6 + cast level instead.

Mage 9 Ring Spell - Magic Heavy Attack (Protection): Cracks all magic protection effects on a single target.

Castaño's mages can transcribe the spells they have mastered into magic scrolls by consuming materials and spell slots of the day.

As for the combination of these spells, the spell can weaken the target creature's immunity resistance, making it easy to appear on high-level necromancer enemies with Finger of Death.

True Gaze is arguably one of the most hated spells by illusionists, as the effect of the spell "the recipient can see everything as it is" means that you will be blessed with this spell and will temporarily gain the ability to see through illusions, which is undoubtedly a catastrophe for both mages who specialize in illusions and monsters who rely on illusion abilities to fight.

Magical Heavy Strike is the most straightforward and domineering of the mage's many demon-breaking methods. Advanced mages often no longer need to borrow the magical energy of the Elemental Realm in skirmishes to show off their destructive talents, and they often use instantaneous kill spells with instantaneous effects to defeat their enemies, which is a necessary preparation for them to cast instantaneous spells.

For example, a deadly sword stabbed into a sturdy armor will be blocked from an attack, so the attacker with the sword will need to find a way to remove the armor from the target before attacking himself.

This is not a very vivid example in the level of magic duels, the meaning of the sword alludes to the "death finger", "dissociation", "petrification" and other instantaneous killing methods, armor indicates "magic reversal", "magic shield", "anti-magic stance" and other counter-instantaneous killing methods, and "cracking", "disarming magic", "magic heavy blow" and other magic breaking methods are the methods used by mages to remove armor from their enemies.

Powerful monsters, such as the Shadow Dragon boss in the deepest part of the "Shadow Ruins" dungeon, even if they don't have a mage class level, have some innate spell-like abilities.

From this point of view, the four magic scrolls provided by Victor for the team can be said to constitute a fool's tutorial-like instant kill combo in an extremely crude way, and the elven demon swordsman who was instructed by the dragon mage city lord a few hours ago even patiently explained the order of this set of combo formulas to everyone:

Use the "Lurker's Ring" to become invisible, then turn on the "True Gaze", select the right hostile target to perform "Magic Strike", and then "Cast a Spell" with "Finger of Death" to complete a clean finish.

Urs remembers that in his previous life, the legendary mage friend who had said that "a woman's mind is more difficult to understand than legendary spells", told himself in his previous life in the game career - the offensive methods of high-level mages against powerful enemies are actually quite simple to summarize, nothing more than the two most important components of "demon breaking" and "instant killing".

Victor's aid to himself was strong. The mysterious mage city lord seems to have paved the way for his team to move forward in advance, trying to guide everyone to take out the shadow dragon boss in the deepest part of the ruins of the dungeon in Ras Canyon in this way, and convey his trust in everyone by handing over the four magic scrolls.

So, the young man was confident enough to finally accept the five-star adventure called Russ Canyon Ruins on behalf of the team, and asked Draco more questions he wanted to know in the small council room a few hours earlier.

In the course of the exchange at that time, Draco answered many doubts in Urs's mind, such as the secret support of a third-party force behind Dambert and the Red Scorpion Adventure Group - but as for what that third-party force was, the Elven Demon Swordsman did not elaborate, but only told everyone that it was a very evil and powerful group, and the detailed information would be learned from the mouth of the Lord of the City himself when everyone returned with the glory of the dragon slayer and a mission item in the deepest part of the ruins.

With memories of his previous life, the black-haired young man rested one arm on the table and bent half of his cheek diagonally, working his brain to overcome sleepiness and try to think.

In Castaño's main story, there are only a few main hostile forces for players in the good camp. Ruling out the undead of Byron Tas, Urs soon thought of a potential possibility......

However, at this moment, there were two knocks on the door of the study, deliberately restraining the force.

"Who?" The young man immediately sat up straight, subconsciously reached out and closed his adventure journal, and the brown eyes in his sockets looked at the location of the room door.

A second later, a girl from outside the door replied softly, "It's me, Urs." ”

And another aging male: "And me." ”

"Thea? Gloridon? ”
