Chapter 11: The Spellcaster

"These people all have weapons in their hands, and they are obviously ready for battle, but what does it mean that this archer, Demons, has not fired a single arrow in his quiver? He did not lock on to the enemy until he died. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Darius's words startled De Mons, who looked at the corpse that Darius was referring to, and it was exactly as he had said.

"Yes, from my experience with adventurers, they don't deserve to die like this,"

"Adventurers haunt the mountains all year round, here, the strength of the individual is small, only an experienced and well-equipped team can survive, they need thieves to scout, warriors to fight head-on, archers to assist remotely, any experienced adventurer team, will know the importance of teamwork."

De Mons looked around: "No matter what the situation is, maintaining a reasonable formation, orderly and calm fighting and retreat, is the top priority, but you look at them, the formation is completely scattered, they are even scattering in different directions, I don't know what happened to make them look like this, I just don't know if there are any guys who have run away except for these people." ”

De Mons thought for a moment, and then said, "They fled into the woods from the outside, but none of the surrounding plants were damaged, is it the power of magic?" The wizards of our tribe also have some spells, but I have not heard of such powers. ”

Just as the two were discussing with each other, a voice came from behind them.

"I ...... I seem to know what it is. ”

Darius and De Mons looked over suddenly, and West, who was speaking, was stared at by the sharp eyes of the two, and was a little at a loss for a while.

"Like?"

Darius walked up to him, "Tell me, how did you know this?" What the hell is this thing? ”

Vester explained with some nervousness: "Well, I'm from the Loire, and my father wanted to train me to be a magician, so when I was six years old, I was sent to the Eye of the Archam, a mage organization in the Loire, as an apprentice. ”

"My mentor is the seven-ring rune mage Ukata, and I have seen him cast a six-ring spell called the Embrace of Fear, which the mages claim to have the power of a spell derived from Pruto, the embodiment of decay and decay, who can take the souls of the sorcerers. But this is just a rumor, the spells against the soul are at least above the seven rings, this is actually an attack spell against the spiritual level, and only those who are extremely determined can be protected from this spell. ”

"Mentor Ucata cast this spell on a thief who attacked him, and I saw the thief fall into a hallucination of death, in which he would constantly imply that he was dead, so Gurus Ukata didn't do anything, and the thief diedβ€”he was scared to death by himself in the vision. His death was similar to that of these people, with no external injuries and a horrified expression. ”

The expression on Darius' face was solemn, mage? In such a remote mountainous area where war is about to break out, I really don't know if it's good or bad for a powerful but unidentified mage to appear.

"Okay, we still have our own tasks, this should be an internal matter of the Zuan adventurers, and it has nothing to do with us, besides, the affairs of the spellcasters are not something we can manage, let's get out of here first, and don't touch these people's things, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Darius and De Mence gathered their men together and cautiously left the woods, continuing along the river towards their destination. He called West to his side and continued to ask, "Since you are a mage apprentice, why did you come to join our garrison now?" ”

West smiled awkwardly and said stupidly: "My elemental affinity ability is too low, and the mentor told me that with my qualifications, it will be difficult to become a mage above the three rings for the rest of my life, and I basically can't awaken the bloodline talent, so I didn't continue." Since he is no longer an apprentice of a mage, he has to do military service, so he came here. ”

"Is the ring a measure of a mage's strength? What is the concept of the Six Rings and the Seven Rings? ”

It's rare to have a guy with a little bit of insight in the team, and Darius certainly won't let go of this opportunity.

"This is more complicated to say, it is said that the great father God Wirther opened up our world in the void, he made a contract with the four elemental lords of earth, water, air, and fire, built the world framework of the Runeterra, and then used the thread of law to weave a magical web, covering the entire sky, isolating the void from Valoran."

"The laws are everywhere, mages want to obtain the power of magic, they must contact and understand the laws of all things, so that they will have the ability to use them, we will use the laws that mages can access by rings, and divide them into twelve rings, an ordinary person after long-term education and training, can probably become a wizard below the three rings, but above the three rings, it is not only achieved by hard work, it also requires talent and opportunity. My mentor Ucata has access to the seventh layer of the Law Web, so he can use the spells of the Seven Rings at the highest, and he is an extremely powerful spellcaster in the Loire and even in Noxus. If my grandfather hadn't helped him in his youth, how could someone like me be qualified to be an apprentice? β€œ

"And the mages above the Eight Rings are all living legends, they are generally named masters, and they are unimaginably powerful spellcasters."

The sun above his head had gradually sunk in the west, and the sky had become dim, and after hearing West's description, Darius subconsciously glanced at the sky again, but this time, he did not clearly feel the dreamlike network of laws.

"According to you, if the Embrace of Fear was a six-ring spell, the group of dead adventurers would have encountered at least a seven-ring or eight-ring spellcaster, or even higher."

"I'm not a spellcaster, but I can also imagine that 'Fear Embrace' or similar spells are not easy to unleash, right? Unleashing it on such a whole team of adventurers, this difficulty, as you can imagine, should not be something that a person who has just mastered it can do, so this spellcaster must have more strength. ”

West was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned slightly pale, Ukatta was the most powerful spellcaster he had ever come into contact with, but now that he thought about it, it would be difficult for him to let his mentor kill an entire team of adventurers silently.

What does this mean?

A mage more powerful than Ukata, what kind of existence is that? West couldn't imagine why such a spellcaster was here, and the corpse in that place proved that this mage was anything but good.
