Act61 Shade in the Sun I.
The skies of Northland Nogo have been clear since the end of the year of the Red Moon, and in the small town of Faun, where the young men and women who met for the first time formed a makeshift group of adventurers.
Gross, Miss Lady Radia, and then Chocco, and his companion, Tob, who often calls himself the "Heroic Dwarven Warrior".
After successfully purchasing a full set of armor, Gross and the team left the town's blacksmith shop—
Compared with the set of tabula rasa iron armor purchased in Silver Leaf Town, this brand new set of armor is still the most ordinary set of tabula rasa equipment despite the use of high-quality materials and excellent workmanship.
However, the basic protection value has increased a lot. Correspondingly, the [assembly] requirements for each part of this set of armor have also reached LV21 to LV25.
Gross secretly opened the character panel in his unique vision, and when he saw the changed advanced attributes, he nodded with satisfaction.
According to his original plan, the mission "Shadows in the Sun", he planned to carry out the route by collecting clues, but now because of the addition of "Stallion Mage" Choko and the dwarven warrior Tobu, he decided to change his previous mind-
The four of them, plus Stewart, a high-level swordsman with first-class swordsmanship, are enough to deal with all the enemies in this mission with a head-on battle.
Priest Martty Enks, and an awakened first-order lich. Although after stepping into the awakening level, he has mastered the law of power from now on, but Gross has enough confidence-
Except for him and Miss Mage Ladia, the other three have all left their own stories on the historical line of the game in their previous lives, and they are not mediocre people.
The group left the town of Faun around two o'clock in the afternoon.
The journey to the village of White Pigeon was first a wide and smooth trade road, and as it gradually approached the direction of Talen, the trade road forked, and standing in front of the road sign, Gross only glanced at it and quickly made his choice.
He had a very impressed impression of this task, and there was absolutely no possibility of going astray.
"Hey, boy, what is the situation of the mission you are talking about?"
Perhaps because of the stranger, the loud-voiced dwarven warrior Tobu remained silent all the way, and when he saw Gross only stopping for a moment in front of the wooden sign at the intersection, he finally couldn't help but ask.
Mercenaries have the right to obtain detailed information about the mission from their employers when they accept a hired mission, and as an adventurer, sharing information is also an extremely common thing-
Along the way, Choko didn't ask, and Gross was happy to keep his mouth shut, and for now, out of caution about joining the adventure, Tob the Dwarf felt compelled to talk about it.
"Have you heard the story of the lich?"
Gross smiled slightly, and sold a pass-
The long-running war between the Elantra kingdom and the undead of Dill began two months later in the "Rebellion of Ambition", and in the decades prior to that, the dead who inhabited the underworld rarely set foot in the realm of humanity under the sun.
The priests and some preachers of the Church of the Holy Radiance have boasted and boasted more than once that those filthy and depraved skeletons have long been beaten by their Holy Radiance Church and dare not show their heads—
This claim is well founded, and within the Church of the Holy Radiance, the extermination of the undead is included in one of several key evaluations for the clergy.
Every few months, there would always be news from the Holy Grace Churches everywhere that a certain place would wipe out a number of dead people on a certain day—
Of course, the news was completely true, and the priests often described the contents of the newspapers in vivid detail in front of the illiterate peasants, and even if it was only a few short lines, they were able to tell a wonderful story with the rich imagination in their minds.
In fact, most of these so-called "deceased" who have been eliminated are just wandering scholars and wild mages who have just begun to study necromancy but have unfortunately been discovered, and some of them are "gold diggers" who accidentally ran from the underground world of Diel-
The concept of "gold digger" is only relative to the undead, and every lich who has mastered esoteric necromancy has always had a great interest in the living life of human beings: the mysteries of life and death, how the living should pursue eternal life, how to create better "resurrectants", and so on......
All of these, each taken separately, is enough to evolve into an unfathomable science.
As a result, some of the inquisitive and adventurous deceased occasionally come to the surface world under the sun.
According to the teachings of the Church of the Holy Radiance, the deceased, who symbolize the other pole of life, are their natural mortal enemies.
Hearing him say this, the wild mage Choko and the dwarven warrior Tobu were stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded—
As veteran mercenaries of the Anjou Mercenary Guild, they have some knowledge of the deceased who exude a dilapidated and dead atmosphere. Most of this knowledge comes from the adventure stories that have been circulated among the mercenaries, but they have taken it upon themselves to solve a high-level zombie more than a year ago.
But when it comes to lichs, this is the first time they've faced them.
Fresh, curious, eager to try?
Choco and Tob have obviously passed the stage of rookie mercenaries, and Gross brings up the topic of "lich", and they also ask in detail along the way, including the appearance of the lich, its characteristics, its general strength, and even the special skills that it may master-
Each of the races in Discord has its own talents, such as humans, who are often able to explode far more powerful than usual due to the critical nature of the situation, according to some book sources, thanks to the effective secretion of adrenaline.
And the dead of Dill don't have the same explosive power as other life races because they don't have fresh flesh and blood, but correspondingly, they don't fear, they don't fear, they don't have anxiety, and most of them don't have emotional fluctuations......
Under normal circumstances, it is like a precise, tight-fitting, well-functioning machine.
As for the lich group, their minds are as cool as a piece of ice that does not melt for a thousand years, and the degree of rationality is even greater than that of mages who are accustomed to coldness-
"Lichs, in fact, look similar to mages, they also have another name, called Corpse Witch."
Gross said, observing Choco and Tob's reactions, and paused, "We could have thought of the lich as a mage of another race, except for the disgusting smell of the body. ”
"The dead seem to have another weakness, they are inherently afraid of the Light."
Along the way, hearing Gross talk about these things one after another, Choco nodded from time to time, and when the scene of White Pigeon Village appeared in the distance, he suddenly opened his mouth and added.
