Step by step away from Scout Harbor, the otherwise clear sky became more and more gloomy as Ryan and the others drifted away in the jungle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After agreeing to the woman's request, Ryan decided to take advantage of the sun hanging high in the sky and the concentration of positive energy was high, and set off immediately. After a simple conversation along the way, several people can be regarded as having a basic understanding. The woman's name was Laura, and she used to be a full-time bard who traveled around the world, but a few years ago in pursuit of excitement, she formed a team of adventurers with a few like-minded friends.

Originally, a few people wanted to buy some necessary things in Scout, and then go south to Turmis, find dwarven craftsmen to build a batch of extraordinary weapons, and if they have the opportunity, they can also abduct one or two dwarven warriors to serve as meat shields for the squad, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing...

"It's down there." Walking to the cliff ahead, Laura pointed down, and Ryan stepped forward, frowning. Looking at the woman's fingertips, there was nothing but a lush jungle at the foot of the mountain.

"It's an illusion, it happens occasionally, but it doesn't work as long as we get close." After saying that, Laura didn't wait for the two to continue to ask questions, walked up the steep slope, and walked down cautiously.

"Occasionally? Ryan, why do I always feel weird? Lanier glanced at Laura as she walked forward, and whispered to Ryan.

"That's right, this woman is very shrewd, you must not be fooled by her appearance." He patted the young man on the shoulder, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Huh? No, I'm not talking about that. Slightly stunned, Lanier waved his hand, "I mean, there seems to be something wrong with this place." ”

"What's the problem?" The hand on Lanier's shoulder stiffened, and the embarrassment on Ryan's face was fleeting, and he immediately continued with Lanier's conversation.

"This spell effect is very similar to a constant range spell. But according to Laura, this place has been uninhabited for many years, and since it does not produce magical resources, no one should spend energy and wealth on this constant illusion. ”

Hearing Lanier's opinion rarely, Ryan thought carefully, then frowned slightly, and caught a flash of inspiration in his mind: "You're right, now it seems that there can only be two reasons, first, that woman lied." ”

"Second." Stretching out two fingers, Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the jungle with a solemn gaze, "That's a crazy magical area. ”

"You mean?!" Lanier was stunned, his face full of incredulity.

Frenzy magic, which bears a resemblance to wild magic, can even be equated in some specific cases. It is said that the magic power in this area has become extremely disordered due to various reasons, and once it is pulled, it will be like a sea of rivers, either strengthening the effect of the spell, or making the caster unable to control the magic and the spell will fail, and there will be almost no weakening of the spell.

At the same time, there is also a very magical feature of the Crazy Magic Zone, when a caster successfully casts a spell in this area, the magic will remember this trajectory, and there is a high probability that the natural magic will cast this spell on its own.

However, this memory will gradually disappear over time, and according to Laura, there are not many visitors to this land recently, and there are even fewer spellcasters, and there are not a single caster who is proficient in illusion.

To be able to cast such a wide range of illusions, its strength is definitely not simple, and the reason for this once again made Ryan and the others fall into deep thought.

"It's getting dark, what are you doing?" Ahead, Laura looked back and saw that the two were still stuck on the cliff, and immediately shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

Ryan and the others quickly came back to their senses, temporarily put aside the doubts in their hearts, and hurriedly followed.

As Laura said, after a few people walked into the jungle at the foot of the mountain, a feeling of dizziness came over Ryan's mind, and then quickly disappeared. The scenery in front of me changed in an instant, the dense forest disappeared into the sky, and the view became wider, with dilapidated houses, farms, pastures abandoned for many years, and the gloomy castle covered with moss and creepers at the end of the clearing.

Without entering the territory immediately, Ryan and Laura tacitly took out the identical glass bottle from their arms at the same time, and carefully applied the transparent liquid in it to the blade.

That's right, this is holy water, this area has a very high concentration of negative energy, although Laura has not been attacked by the undead, but she is prepared, and it is not Ryan who pays for it.

This was purchased by Laura from the Temple of Waukin, and while the Goddess of Wealth is an absolutely neutral deity, she also claims to be able to give anything as long as she has money. In addition to Lanier, Ryan and Laura have two bottles each. After the former had coated the ten arrows with it, the entire bottle of holy water had been used up. Watching him throw the empty bottle out, Laura felt like blood was dripping from her heart.

Ryan wasn't a professional archer, and in Laura's eyes, it was a complete waste for him to smear holy water on his arrows. You know, in the temple of Waukin, prices are more than twice the market price...

"Go straight to the castle, Lanier, and turn on invisibility. Laura, you open the way in front of you, and we will follow you at a distance of about ten meters behind you. As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan took out a small piece of cut gum, and as he recited the incantation in a deep voice, the gum was slowly swallowed by the magic, and his figure disappeared from Laura's vision.

Seeing the two disappear, Laura suddenly felt a little aggrieved. As an explorer of the team, although it is indeed her task to open the way, but in the past, she turned on invisibility, and now Ryan has to follow her, and there is no way to use invisibility, coupled with his distrust of herself, she always has the illusion of being used as bait.

In fact it is ...

After Ryan escaped into the shadows, he didn't do what he had just said, and immediately opened his legs, passed Laura, who was slowly sneaking closer, and rushed directly towards the castle gate.

With great stealth and agility, Ryan quietly made his way to the side of the gate, and Laura in the distance was not halfway there. Instead of opening the gate in a hurry, Ryan glanced at Laura, who was solemn, and circled around the castle, scanning everything suspicious around him like a torch.

Laura was right, he had never trusted this beautiful and charming woman, and although he had been willing to solicit before, Ryan had been mindful of the existence of the Lich since she mentioned that there had been a lich here.

What is there in a barony that is worth a lich's stay and even the murder that does not want to leave? You must know that ordinary lichs are high-level or even master existences, and it is impossible for teleportation to be an excellent escape spell.

Although the Lich's lifebox is immortal if it is not destroyed, every death brings them great loss and suffering, so even the Lich is also life-sparing.

And the client, Ryan had asked Laura to meet with him to learn about the manor, but Laura excused himself on the grounds that he wasn't in Scout. Since he was willing to spend a lot of money to ask adventurers for help, this box must be of great significance to the client, how could he not care about the progress of these adventurers' tasks?

You know, Ryan was pushed by NPCs during the time he was an adventurer in the game...

It's not fair... No, it should be said, there is a problem!
