Chapter 15 Fire Wine? Black Fire! VI
Yas did as Demps had instructed to take the rest of the group away from the center of the battle, hiding in a corner carved and repaired from a massive rock to avoid being affected. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But in the dim light, the eyes between the high nose and the eye sockets of this always brave young man could not help but be clouded, how terrifying the huge monster looked, and how he wanted to do his most respected commander a little favor.
"Ya, Yas, Captain, are they really okay?"
A trembling voice came from behind Yas, a man in tight leather armor and a longbow in his hand asked him, as if uneasiness and worry could freeze directly from his face and then fall
"Huh? Kleist. ”
Yas and this companion do not have a deep friendship, because this Kleist has always been synonymous with unenterprising in his eyes, only hanging out in casinos and brothels all day long, once drunk and fighting with hooligans are bruised and swollen, and his stealth skills are even more messy, but
Yas looked at Kleist's face again, it was a reflection of true feelings, worried, uneasy, apprehensive and expectant, these emotions could not be faked, after all, they were still partners in a team, or "family"
"It's okay, believe the head of the regiment, those people are all red bronze ranks."
Yas made a light face and patted Kleist's shoulder hard, he could feel the muscles stiffening from the tension, and Kleist pulled the corners of his mouth open to reveal a smile.
Kleist was speaking to Yas, and since his vision was blocked by Kleist's body, Yas didn't notice that his companion was playing with something in his hands.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The sun is sinking and twilight, the original strong sunlight is dyed with a faint brown, and a halo is flashed, which is the solar halo of the cicada moon, Anlundale has twelve sky domains, each sky domain corresponds to a month, and the different months of the celestial body will project their own characteristics under the whole sky, such as the solar halo of the cicada moon, such as the vortex clouds of the harvest moon, people judge the time of day by distinguishing the different manifestations of these characteristics, such as color, size, and shape.
There are three kinds of people on the continent who make their living by observing the different features of the airspace, the mysterious and powerful, the wizard on the tower of the Ring, the equally mysterious and powerful, the astrologer at the top of the stars, and, not so mysterious and powerful but indispensable to this world, the farmer.
Of course, Miles was only skimming over these things in his mind, as an undead was very young, and the practice of magic had made his brain sharper and more flexible than that of his peers, which made him more and more dissatisfied with the idiots under him.
"Let you lead the way, and you will only end up in circles"
Miles' mournful voice, like the sharp sound of two smooth bones rubbing against each other, penetrated in the silence of the jungle
"Didn't you say you saw signs of human action!"
He paused vigorously with his staff to express his displeasure, and the stagnant skeleton in front of him clumsily gestured with his hand bones and long sword, and the soul fire in his eyes flickered.
"Enough, you piece of shit!"
Miles waved his hand impatiently, and at the same time, the soul fire that the skeleton soldier kept flickering quietly extinguished with an invisible impact contained in Miles's words, and the skeleton that made up the skeleton's original body seemed to have passed in an instant, turning from the original miserable white to gray and white, as if covered with a layer of old dirt, and fell to the ground with a click.
"Hmph, what a bunch of garbage."
Watching the other skeletons react backwards under the pressure of fear when they saw the tragic condition of their companions, although they could not fully understand the situation due to their lack of intelligence, Miles let out a disdainful sneer.
In his eyes, this kind of skeleton shelf, whose intelligence is even significantly different from that of beasts, cannot be called an undead creature like him at all, it can only be regarded as a tool that he does not take advantage of and barely uses, for which he envies his mentors more than once, the dead they awaken are completely different from the inefficient tools under his hands that are just pieced together by skeletons, that is the undead with wisdom and talent, but it is a spell that he is still in the apprenticeship period and cannot access for the time being, and even learned, I don't have enough ability to use it myself.
It is said that the Lord is asking the Great Lich of the Sleepless City to further strengthen the basic undead, the current basic undead, that is, the skeleton soldiers, are too low-value, and in terms of potential, it can even be said that there is no potential, and there is little hope of advancement, and the Lord is quite dissatisfied with this.
However, these things have nothing to do with him for the time being, he just heard some discussions about this when he was helping his mentor, and the top priority is to seize the opportunity of this mission, after all, this is also a task that the adult attaches very seriously, and even Miles himself speculates that this matter may be more important than improving spells.
Generally speaking, this kind of important thing should not be done by a lich apprentice with no background like Miles anyway, Anderdade is an undead country, and due to the strict hierarchy of undead creatures and the characteristics of immortality and immortality, there is a fierce competition and friction factions, the lich of the Sleepless City, the corpses of the dead who sink into the sea of blood, and the nobility of the night in Ennadutari, these factions formed by race never let go of any opportunity to suppress other races and elevate themselves.
But this is the only case.
First of all, because the legend of that thing is ethereal, not only does it not appear in the canons of the gods, but it has never been heard of in some epic poems, and no one in the city that sleeps believes in the existence of that thing, but out of loyalty to that lord, they have not said it explicitly, and they have not canceled this task, and again, according to intelligence, the location of the exploration has to go deep behind enemy lines, although the southern countries have been infiltrated by them a lot, but those priests, paladins still exist, not to mention him in the red copper, Even the Silver Rank Blood Blade Lord was very dangerous, and even in his own heart, he was uneasy.
However, just like those of his classmates, doing some small actions on the borders of the countries to echo the army soon after this kind of thing does not satisfy Miles, or it is not suitable for him, those big family descendants of the lich even if they only stay in a small village, naturally there is a family army to help in the war, and he is a self-awakening lich, even if he risks making war exploits in the national capital, he will only be clicked by his colleagues, and then blamed on those paladins who have nothing but the canon in their minds are muscles.
That's why he took on this task, at first it was just a gamble, as long as he could get the appreciation of that adult, then his future Miles would naturally not be worried, but now, he found out about this thing-
"Who!"
The contemplative lich did not relax his vigilance against the outside world, he not only kept letting go of his perception, but also released trigger spells around him according to his habits, he was a natural lich, the place of awakening was in a long-abandoned three-story mage tower, quite far away from Anderdade, before he arrived in the city of sleepless, he was always killed by those human mercenaries and knights as targets, and those family waste schools who only fought infighting.
The sound of the gears snapping and the strings blending perfectly into the small sounds of the silent forest, and the arrows that radiated cold glow emerged from the shadows behind Miles.
Protective Shooting!
The surface of the black robe rippled like a caress, and the crossbow arrow, which was bound to be obtained, suddenly lost its strength before it could touch the lich's body, and fell straight into the air.
"Cut"
Someone in the dark slurred his tongue gently, his voice a little hoarse, but a little tactful
"I said a long time ago to change the burst, how dare a wizard who doesn't have a long-range means of protection go out now."
The speaker said so, but his subordinates were not slow at all, and at the same time as the second sentence fell, the process of changing the arrow, winding, and releasing the arrow had been completed, and the second arrow had been released
Miles snorted coldly, and a thick wall of pale blue ice with a transparent texture quickly condensed beside him, erecting and exuding coldness.
"Isn't there still me?"
This sentence fell almost at the same time as the ice wall, and with two sonorous sounds, the blade collided with the ice wall, almost sparks
"Hey, you can also silently use the Ice Wall Technique."
Like the voice just now, although the tone was surprised, the sneak attacker did not stop the movement of his hand in the slightest, and the two slashes left deep knife marks on the ice wall, and then the man took advantage of the momentum to rise, and fell to the tree next to him with a flip.
Seeing this, Miles had to stop the half-prepared strong acid arrow, if this guy was going to rush in directly from the top or side of the ice wall just now, then it would be this most vicious two-ring offensive spell that would come at him.
"Wow, it's so ruthless, if you shoot a poisonous arrow, won't my handsome face be completely ruined, then how many aristocratic young women, the young girl with a spring will lament it."
The sneak attacker who had fallen into the tree was still babbling, and his figure was unmistakable in the high sunlight, his hands holding the scimitar were now open, the light brown and black leather armor was particularly conspicuous, and the eyebrows of a handsome Philinagi man were raised, and his shaggy hair shook gently, as if he was really sighing.
"Rest assured, your disfigurement is the best news for all the women of Venserry, and the whole city will hold a ceremony for it, to celebrate that abominable prodigal, the scoundrel Wairutaan, who has since lost the tools for doing evil, and there will never be a poor woman murdered again."
Saying this, the girl with a short crossbow also came out of the shadows, she was more than two heads shorter than the young man in the tree, and her figure appeared quite petite, and her fine hair was tied in a small ponytail, and she also had an outstanding appearance.
"Oh, Nim, I'm so sad that you say that, brother, I want to jump into the Lannau River and drift with it to the other side of the ocean."
The younger sister interrupted her brother mercilessly
"I won't care if you drift to the underworld, it's better to say that way, I can get an extra subsidy from the Erik Council."
"What, no, no, no, I didn't know you were planning to do so, were you already going to marry with the subsidy for your brother's death!"
"Otherwise, why do you think I'm following you all the time in the stinky mercenary pile, you've been working for a few years, and we don't even have a fixed place to live now!"
The two siblings began to quarrel, and Miles was not idle, he coldly watched the two ignorant humans acting in a deliberately pretended tone, a bronze ranger, a white thief, this is not the composition of an adventurous team, they must be delaying or covering up something, for example, reinforcements, for example, that thing!
"Oh sorry, I almost forgot about business"
Wairutan turned his sword and looked at Miles with a smile, showing his white teeth, and said rhythmically
"Are you ready, are you defending, are you ready to fight back?"
Before Miles could respond, his figure flickered, and then instantly fell from the trunk of the tree, rushed to the ice wall, and then flickered again
Charge! Second Charge!
The black-robed lich did not react emotionally to Wairutan's words, nor did he scramble to lose the enemy's position, as calm as a wall of ice still erected, and he continued to complete his spell with the bone staff in his hand across his chest
The blade flashed, and a subtle cracking sound sounded, and a layer of transparent scaly armor emerged from the air two centimeters apart from the black robes, and then shattered, the wizard armor blocked a surprise attack from Wairutaan, and then Miles waved the bone staff
A white wave of qi visible to the naked eye spread out in a semicircle, and the branches and vines that touched it were all broken and scattered, and the white wave of qi wrapped around these broken stones and branches towards the ranger who had not withdrawn after making the move
Vala Strike!
"Wow, that's not good, I'm going to be split in two!"
In mid-air, Wairutan screamed, was hit by a wave of white air, and then bounced away, throwing the whole person high
As Miles tried to pursue, another bolt shot straight at his skull, but this time he only turned his head sideways, allowing the bolt to graze his head, pulling a long scratch on his black hood, revealing the white bone within.
"Help, I'm going to die!"
Although Wairutan was knocked away by the Walla Flying Technique, and his body had nowhere to borrow power in the air, it did not affect his speech
"Shut up, you can't die with a necromantic touch with your bronze physique!"
Nila said this as she looked at her brother, who was about to crash into the trunk of the tree, but pulled out a tube of sealed liquid from the tubular pouch around her waist, and a thin silver glow shone in the transparent liquid.
"Hey, skeleton shelf, taste what a bottle of water for fifty gold coins tastes like!"
The girl then threw the vial at the Lich Apprentice, and Miles was shocked to see it, for the flame of the soul, hidden under the black hood, could only see the faint light.
Holy! Immortal, where did this little imp come from!
Miles immediately gave up the spell casting of Necromantic Touch and replaced it with the hand of a normal mage, holding the tumbling flying pipe in mid-air.
Just as Miles was about to put away the dangerous item, the small bottle that seemed to be very sturdy suddenly exploded.
The white liquid with a little silver glow immediately turned into clouds in the air and fell
Miles didn't even have time to cast the spell, he could only react as quickly as he could, lying on the ground, and then hoping that the apprentice's robe would block the holy water blessed by the gods a little, allowing him to retain at least one sex...... Oh no, half a life is enough.
However, after a long time, the expected severe pain did not come, and if you feel carefully, there seems to be no damage to your body, which is ....... It's been left for a long time, and it's the same expired as when he was a preservative for Mentor Fedaliman? The forest is getting quieter, even the insects that were there just now are gone, and it's getting quieter? What about the siblings?
Miles felt that something was wrong, and when he got up, he saw that there were no other creatures in the vicinity except for himself who had been drenched in water, and the two siblings were long gone.
