"It's still too late...... Rexi Moon Scepter looked at the two corpses at his feet - one had been cut into four pieces, the other had two hands cut off, and then burned to black, along with the armor on his body.

"The wound is flattened, and the non-metallic sharp weapon is cut to cause ...... Dissociation? Dimensional Slash? Rexi carefully examined the barbarian's corpse, "I didn't expect that among the enemies, there were people who could use such rare spells. ”

He walked over to the corpse of the human warrior again: "Balto's armor was forged by his family's workshop in the Dark Canyon, with elemental stone powder added to it, and he has some resistance to the energy school's one-ring spells, but he was still killed by fire magic. The energy level of this spell is at least at the level of a second-ring spell. Last time, Sally was also seriously injured by Lothar's fire spell, and it seems that the guy has not only the legendary orb in his hand, but also other things that can help him cast spells beyond the level...... Great, I'm going to grab them all! ”

After examining the traces of the battle, Rexi took out a button-shaped communication item, injected a trace of magic into it, and said, "Lvif and Balto are dead, and the enemy's strength is beyond expectations. They fled in the direction of the Ember Mine Road, presumably trying to report to Fort Jianwan. I need reinforcements to converge at the exit of the Ash Mine in two days' time. If Lothar can make it through the abandoned mine, which is already occupied by the undead, we can surprise him. ”

…………

Lothar, Erin, and Kadian spent hours of time in the darkness of the night, and finally reached the foot of Redstone Mountain, not far from the entrance to the Ember Mine.

The majestic Red Rock Mountain is particularly eye-catching even in the dark.

The concentration of negative energy in the environment became higher and higher, and Lothar found that the originally moist and fertile black soil under his feet had also turned into a dry powder. When you put your fingers in the dirt, you feel a cold sensation that seems to suck the heat out of your body.

This is a sign that the land is being affected by negative energy and is gradually being transformed into filthy soil and black mud.

"Looks like we're destined to deal with the undead." Lothar slapped the dirt off her fingers.

Erin glanced at him and didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

In the previous battle with the two silver-level warriors, thanks to the future Queen of the White Night, the three of Lothar were able to win cleanly, not only without casualties, but also without delay, and successfully escaped the pursuit of the Moon Scepter Family.

If they are entangled by the enemy and attract a steady stream of reinforcements, I am afraid that the three of them will not be able to reach the Red Rock Mountain.

Although Erin only showed the strength of a trainee mage and had been fighting with the Zero Ring spell, her casting speed, her grasp of the fighter, and her calm fighting style were all impressive.

Not to mention the spells used by Irene, although the energy level is not high, but the lethality is amazing. The barbarian Lvif was torn apart by her, and another human warrior was mortally wounded by her severed two hands, before being killed by Lothar's flameburst spell cast by the Scroll of Everything.

After obtaining the Scroll of Everything, Lothar immediately exhausted her possessions and browsed the various magic shops in Greenthorn City, finally buying a second-ring spell book "Flameburst".

In this world, spell books are as rare as martial arts cheats. Zero-ring spell books are already very expensive, and one-ring two-ring spell books not only require a lot of money, but also enough good luck and wisdom to be able to buy them. The more advanced spell books are often not for sale, and are monopolized by various aristocratic or mage organizations.

Of course, if you think you have enough protagonist aura to be around, you can also try your luck in various ruins, and maybe you can find the legacy left by some great masters.

Lothar not only defeated the female elf, but also killed the human warrior Balto this time by drawing the scroll of everything in the flameburst circle. Of the three silver-tier followers that Lexie had brought to Greenthorn City, two of them were lost in his hands.

Although it costs a lot of money to buy the Scroll of Everything and the Flameburst spell book, it is definitely worth the money for Lothar.

Although Lothar's performance in the battle just now was not as conspicuous as Erin's, her sophisticated vision and rich experience far surpassed the level of ordinary trainee mages, which impressed Cadian deeply.

The elven mage was glad that he had two good players around him, so they had a better chance of completing the task.

Cadian didn't dare to put on a stand as the nephew of Baron Charon, and asked Lothar for advice: "Mr. Lothar, what is the situation in the Ash Mine Road, can we pass it with our strength?" ”

In the game, the "Ember Mine" is a very common random dungeon that can be found on almost every continent.

Prior to the Scourge of the Dead, the Ashes Mine was a mining and underground town abandoned by the ancient Deepstone Halflings, with only a few broken constructed creatures operating in the mines. If you're lucky, you'll be able to find some books on building machinery inside, and even get an intact Golem.

It's just that after the undead natural disaster, the entire mine was completely invaded by the undead, and became the hatching pool of the undead army.

At that time, there was a creature level 5 at the bottom of the mine, and the carrion blood flower that had matured was used as the big boss. It would take at least six full-fledged mages, plus twelve bronze-tier follower warriors, to be able to kill the carrion blood flower.

However, at this point in time, the carrion blood flower should still be in a juvenile state, and its strength is similar to the carrion blood flower that Lothar encountered in the Langovich Sanctuary before.

And as long as you don't die and go deeper into the mines, you may not encounter the undead at all.

"Rest assured, as long as the situation remains the same, we will be able to pass through the first layer of the tunnel as planned, and there will be no danger." "Of course, it's a bit boring, but I'd like to see something happen more to make the trip a little more interesting." ”

Fun to encounter a horde of undead who hate the living?

Cadian rolled his eyes, not daring to compliment Lothar's idea. He only hoped that he would be able to complete the mission smoothly so that Uncle Charon would not lose the war between the barons.

Lothar saw Cadian's concern, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, we have the beautiful and lovely Miss Erin here, and everything will be fine." ”

Kadian looked at Erin, who was dressed in a gorgeous black dress, and said secretly in her heart: "It's indeed beautiful, but this cold appearance is not cute at all." ”

Facing Erin, who exudes an aura of no one else, Kadian didn't even have the heart to talk to her. Only Lothar is psychologically strong enough to dare to talk to the future Queen of the White Nights.

Erin said, "Hurry up. ”

"Of course, my Queen...... Oh no, the future Queen. ”

Erin's expression remained unchanged, she glanced at Lothar, and didn't care about what Lothar meant by her unclear words, and took the lead in taking the lead.

When the three of them reached the bottom of the mountain, they found the two people who had fled earlier, waiting for them at the entrance to the Ember Mine Road.

"You guys have faces?" Kadian said coldly.

A hint of annoyance appeared on the halfling's face, and he snorted, but did not speak.

The human mage Blue, who had lost a finger, quibbled, "The contract we signed only stipulates that you will be able to pass through the Ember Mine without any problems. Fighting with the people of the Moon Scepter family is not within our obligation! ”

"It's really an admirable spirit of contract, just as impressive as the two of them are able to escape." Lothar praised "heartily".

Halfling Donic pointed at Lothar and Erin and said, "Why did two silver-tier warriors suddenly appear to chase us?" We are all students of the Academy of Magic in Greenthorn City, and we come from noble backgrounds. It's just the two of you, an adventurer from nowhere, and an Ivar merchant who recommended you, both unidentified. I think you're bringing in enemies you shouldn't have been! I still have reason to suspect that you are the spies of the Moon Scepter family! ”

"What an incredibly stupid accusation." Lothar smiled, "Mr. Halfling, why don't you think about it with your own brain ten times smaller than the capacity of ordinary people." If you hadn't cast that stupid orb of brilliance, how would we have exposed our position? ”

"Boring."

The future Queen of the White Nights is clearly not interested in these verbal quarrels. She didn't look at it, and a person led the way to the Ash Mine.

As the captain, Cadian is also concerned about Baron Charon's war, and he doesn't want to make any more trouble. "The situation in the Ash Mine is much more complicated than it used to be, and if we want to get through here, we'd better put aside our differences," he advised. Nobody wants to fail a mission, and no one wants to die in the mines, right? ”

"I'm okay with that. The meaningless battle of words is not interesting at all. Lothar shrugged.

"As long as he is honest, I will not take the initiative to provoke." The halfling glared at Lothar.

Seeing that this fragile team had finally reached a consensus, Kadian was also relieved.

The group quickly followed the rusty track in the grass and found the entrance to the Ash Mine Road.

In ancient times, the Ash Mine was a thriving underground city. Like the dwarves, the Deep Rock Halflings live underground and in the mountains, and specialize in mineral mining and metal smelting. It's just that the dwarves only trust their powerful arms, while the deepstone halflings rely more on magical machines.

After the depletion of mineral deposits, the underground city also fell into decay as a matter of course. Today, in the dense cobweb-like tunnels, there are only all kinds of broken copper and iron and worthless slag. Except for some scholars interested in historical archaeology, no one is interested in this mine.

In the Adventurer's Guild, the mercenaries list the Ember Mine as the "least explorable area".

However, Lothar knew that there were many things in the mines that were worthless to the adventurer, but to him were of little value, waiting to be discovered.
