After Roland finished distributing the spoils, the big brother Bloom over there had been waiting impatiently, and picked up the kobold warlock and slapped him twice in the face, waking him up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Dog-headed bastard, be honest! Dare to have a word false, Uncle Ben will smash your dog's head! ”

Yuka was stunned for a while to figure out his situation, and without waiting for Bloom to torture, he immediately confessed obediently: "Don't do it, what do you want to know, just ask, I promise to answer truthfully!" ”

Seeing this, Roland took over Bloom's interrogation, and was worried that she was playing tricks, but he didn't expect that this guy's lower limit of discipline was bottomless, and he happily sold Nero and the others clean. Even the news that Roland didn't inquire about was revealed, such as the distribution of the Stoneblind Barbarian's power in the ruins of Tiamat, and the fact that the leader of the tribe was an evil druid who raised a terrifying magical beast.

"Lord Knight, do you really plan to hunt down Nero and the others through the area controlled by the Stone Blind Barbarians?" Jukka asked tentatively.

Roland nodded, "Yes, what are you asking for?" ”

"It just so happens that I have an old grudge with Nero, why don't you take me on the road with you, so you can have a guide." Yuka's eyes lit up with excitement.

The corners of Roland's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his hand at her: "You don't have to bother to lead the way, just draw a topographical map of the ruins to me." ”

"I don't think it's bothering at all!" Yuka's face was full of eagerness.

"I'm sorry, I'm troublesome." Roland coldly refused.

Roland didn't dare to bring this kobold with a negative temperament. Since she took refuge because of a conflict with Nero and others, who can guarantee that she will not defect halfway? After all, he also had a lot of grudges with her, not only killing her men, but also snatching her three pieces of magic equipment, taking this kind of person with him is like carrying a time bomb, and he can't tell when it will explode.

Sending away a disappointed Yuka, Roland gathers his teammates for a small meeting.

According to the information provided by Yuka, Roland has a relatively reliable estimate of the strength of Nero and the others. He had to say these analyses in public, so that his companions could be prepared to know how dangerous their next opponent was.

"Yukka said that Nero was a half-red dragon warlock, so when estimating his strength, the racial talent of 'half-dragon' must be counted." Specifically, it has a +8 racial bonus in strength, a +2 talent in stats such as Constitution, Intelligence, and Charisma, immunity to paralysis and sleep, and a +4 innate defense.

"With so many unique racial talents, especially in close combat, his strength is probably not inferior to that of a strong and fierce orc, and if you treat him as weak as an ordinary warlock, you will definitely pay a heavy price."

"In addition, Nero's fighting style can be seen from his nickname, this guy is known as the 'Skinning Baron', and he is good at an original spell called 'Living Skinning', which induces magic by touching the enemy, and if the opponent's constitution is not strong enough, he will be stripped of his skin on the spot and die of severe pain."

Nikita has a lot of research on spells, and then Roland's words said: "Although I haven't seen the power of the living skin peeling technique, but listening to Yuka's description, this spell should have evolved from the five-ring necromancy magic 'killing technique', the difference is that this trick cannot kill people immediately, if the skinned person is treated in time, there is still a chance of life, it can be seen that the level of this spell should be slightly lower than the killing technique, it is likely to be a four-ring spell, from which it can be speculated that this person has at least 8 warlock levels." ”

Roland nodded in agreement, and then briefly analyzed the strength of Nero's two accomplices.

Yuka says that Drow Priest Agatha has a magical crystal mask that can see through the hidden effects of darkness and smoke, and that when she casts spells, she will have flashing dragon wings on her back, and that she is known as the "Dragon Toucher", indicating that this person has transformed herself into a dragon-blooded creature, and is most likely proficient in some dragon specialties. ”

The title "Dragontoucher" is a special specialty in itself, alluding to how Agatha transformed herself from a drow to a dragon-blooded creature.

"Finally, Agatha's brother 'Tell the Dead' Lorenzo, with whom Ronnie has dealt with, and Yuka also said that he is good at stealth backstabs, and if he doesn't shoot, he will kill with one hit. It is not difficult to speculate that he should be an advanced assassin of the Drow Thieves, especially because this person is not only proficient in assassination, but also has a certain ability to cast spells. ”

Based on all aspects of intelligence, Roland guessed that the average level of the enemy trio would not be lower than level 9.

"In comparison, the average level of our team is only level 6, the difference in strength between the enemy and us is huge, and the victory against Nero and others is not very large, everyone must have a mental preparation, and it is still too late to quit."

Nikita and Veronica looked at each other and smiled, neither of them thinking of backing down. They come from extraordinary backgrounds, each has their own hole cards, and they have always regarded the challenge of skipping the level as a daily routine, and they don't think that the three Nero have anything to fear.

Bloom's position is equally firm: "I have finally walked so far, the ancient treasure is ahead, I must not bear to enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed!" ”

"Treasure is secondary, and the most important thing is that we have not yet rescued the children kidnapped by Nero and others, and we have not yet avenged the victims of the lumberyard, and I am disturbed if we give up halfway." Lyudmila made a positive statement.

Looking at the determined faces of his companions, Roland was very pleased. Although the reasons are different, the fact that we can unite and move forward is a rare fate in itself.

Nero and the three were indeed strong, but Roland also had four strong and reliable companions by his side, and he had reason to believe that it was his side, not Nero and the others, who would have the last laugh in this long adventure.

……

Passing through the White Dragon Sluice Gate and over the underground reservoir, the road ahead becomes more and more rugged, and the traces of man-made structures are gradually replaced by natural caves, until a bronze gate stands in front of everyone.

"Aha! I guess that's the gateway to the 'Blue Dragon District'. Carrying the hammer on his shoulder, Bloom stepped forward first, and looked curiously at the dragon's head relief on the door, especially interested in the two beautiful sapphires that served as dragon's eyes.

"I heard from the kobold warlock that this gate hides a magic trap, and every time it is opened, it takes a lot of trouble, let me see what kind of reputation this door hides!" Spat in his palm, the dwarf grabbed the hammer and slammed it against the door.

The Adamantite Warhammer flew out of its hand and slammed into the door with a deafening roar. The gate also trembled visibly, and the dragon's head stared at it suddenly, and the two sapphires seemed to be positive and negative electrodes, inspiring a crackling arc of electricity, covering the entire gate. Small, dense arcs of electricity burst across the door, and within ten feet of the door, the air was ionized and emitted a strange stench.

Bloom had long been far away, and when he saw the scene of electric sparks, he laughed happily: "Fortunately, Uncle Ben was prepared!" As he spoke, he reached out to catch the warhammer that Lu Fei had returned, "Huh? Brother Roland, why are you looking at me in such strange eyes? What's wrong? ”

Roland tried to remind him that it was too late, but the dwarf grabbed the hammer steadily, and suddenly his eyes straightened, and he fell straight down with a pop. A large amount of static electricity gathered on the warhammer and carried it down the metal grip to him, causing him to convulse and his hair and beard stand on end, like a big hedgehog.

The red-clothed witch glanced at the poor dwarf lightly and said softly, "If Yuka is not lying, behind this gate is the outpost of the stone blind barbarians, we had better be careful when we open the door, so as not to alarm those murderous blind people." ”

Roland dragged Bloom up, slapped the "Holy Healing" with his hand, and said with a wry smile: "There was such a big disturbance just now, it is unlikely that you want to hide from the stone-blind barbarians, Ronnie, go in and explore the way after opening the door, and contact Nikita if there is any situation." Then he said to the Witch in Cardinal, "Add a teleportation spell to Ronnie." ”

Nikita nodded, reached out and slapped Veronica on the shoulder, spitting out strange notes.

Shout! A wisp of magical energy turned into a light breeze around the female ninja, and it immediately absorbed into her body without any abnormality.

"Teleportation" is a zero-ring trick, the simplest of all communication spells, but simple is not the same as wastewood, and it is one of the most useful spells on an adventure.

According to Roland's understanding, communication is very similar to the "transmission of sound into secret" in martial arts novels, which can condense the sound into a line and transmit it to the ears of distant companions, and the other party can also answer in the same way, ensuring that the content of the conversation is not heard by others.

To put it in detail, the function of a zero-ring spell such as communication is actually more powerful than "voice transmission into secret", because it is not only a point-to-point communication, but also can form a "chat group" to encrypt remote calls within the group.

Nikita, for example, has 6 casting levels, and can use teleportation to form a group of up to 6 people to maintain a safe call for 60 minutes. Veronica spotted danger while exploring the path ahead, and could use the teleportation technique to pass it on to her companions behind at any time, so that she could take precautions in advance.

If there is any disadvantage of the communication technique, it is that the call signal is not particularly good, and the magic sound wave will be significantly weakened when it encounters obstacles such as stone walls, iron plates, and thick wooden doors during the transmission process, affecting the quality of the call.

In addition, the maximum communication distance is also very tight. Or take Nikita as an example, as a level 6 witch, she can only ensure clear communication within 160 feet at most, and beyond this distance, she is beyond the power of teleportation, and she has to be "PHS (2nd Ring Wind Communication)" or "Global Communication (5th Ring SMS)" in the magical communication industry.
