010 Contaminated Sanctuary
In the dead of night, on the shore of a dense lake, it is not a good thing to meet two arrogant and unreasonable mages. Lothar squinted slightly, looking at the other party and assessing her situation.
Lorenzo, who was once attacked and killed by Lothar, is also an official mage, but his strength is not universally representative. The kind of mage who is timid and cowardly, likes to stay in the castle, and has little combat experience, is an outlier in Freiro. Competitive and decisive mages with rich combat experience abound on this continent.
For example, these two in front of you. Although the dignity of the two people is not flattering, their strength should not be underestimated. Don't look at the two of them appearing in front of Lothar with a big grin, but they are already ready for battle.
There are at least three kinds of magic aura shining on the two of them, and they have both protection and buff spells.
Not to mention, the two of them were accompanied by five highly skilled followers.
The male mage looked at Lothar with a smile: "After we received the commission from the Adventurers' Guild, we just wanted to try our luck here. Although I didn't catch Bailu in the end, I met you, the kid who was favored by Bailu. If it weren't for you, the island in the middle of the lake wouldn't emerge from the fog. β
"What's your name?" The woman asked.
"I'm Lothar, what about both?"
"Hmph, a trainee mage like you doesn't have the qualifications to know our names." The woman's chin lifted, "Show me the way, we're going to explore that island in the middle of the lake." β
The two mages also sensed the anomaly of the island in the middle of the lake. They were clearly prepared to use Lothar as cannon fodder for pathfinding.
Without saying anything, Lothar stepped forward and stepped on the round stone pillar first.
Every time he took and stepped on the round stone pillars, a whisper would come from his ears.
Some are evil and abnormal, like a curse of the abyss.
Some of them are like thunder and lightning, resounding in the sky.
Some are complex and changeable, as if they are full of endless wisdom.
Some of them have melodious rhythms, like moving songs.
Lothar already had a plan in her heart, and couldn't help but speed up her pace.
The moment he officially set foot on the island in the middle of the lake, a prompt sounded in his head.
"The Mystic Book opens, and you discover the remains of an ancient temple: the contaminated Sanctuary of Langovich."
After the Great Collapse, the gods fell one after another, and their kingdom was not spared, falling apart and turning into thousands of shattered realms. Sometimes, due to the influence of spatial turbulence, these fragmented realms will overlap with the main material realm and reappear.
This island in the middle of the lake is a broken field.
The tall buildings not far away are silent, the appearance is dilapidated and desolate, and it is long gone to be the scene of carols and flames.
Langovich is the god of language, and he is a subordinate god under the rule of Ion, the god of knowledge, so when Lothar stepped into Langovich's sanctuary, a sense of intimacy immediately came over him.
Just now he stepped on the stone pillars, and the sound he heard was the language of many dimensional races.
But in the midst of this intimacy, he could feel that an evil force had taken over the place. So on the mystical book, the place name also has a prefix: tainted.
In order for him to make 100% progress in the Mystical Bestiary for this scene of the Sanctuary of Langovich, he must walk through the sprawling building and drive the evil away.
"Hey, apprentice mage, get me forward!"
There was a rude urging behind him.
Lothar observed her surroundings as she walked towards the sanctuary.
The soil under his feet was soft and damp, and when he stepped on it, the black muddy water immediately seeped out, which was very disgusting.
When they came to the sanctuary, which was overgrown with yellow grass and withered vines, and was so dark and broken that it was impossible to see what it had been, everyone looked at the closed door, not knowing what to do next.
"It's too dark, you can't find anything if you go on like this!" The female mage muttered, raising her hand to summon a ball of illuminated light.
Learn about Suosuo......
Stimulated by the light, countless palm-sized black beetles came out of the grass and mud holes, gathered into a huge black carpet, converged towards the huge building, and penetrated through various wall cracks.
In the blink of an eye, the dense black swarm of insects disappeared. But the horrific scene still sends chills down the spine.
"Those are scavenging scarabs that prefer to live in areas with a lot of negative energy, feeding on corpses, and the more rotting and smelly the corpses, the more they like them. So rest assured, we, fresh and hot creatures, are not their cup of tea. Lothar said slowly.
The male mage glared at him: "Shut up! β
Lothar shrugged and didn't care. He even felt that dealing with such rude and arrogant people was a very new experience.
"Boy, you go push the door!"
The horrific scene just now made the female mage feel uneasy, so she sent Lothar to open the door.
"Willing to serve."
Lothar walked up the steps in a few steps, raised her hand with great force, and pushed the heavy door open.
Squeak ......
With the mournful roar of decay of the gate, a stale smell came to the face. This sanctuary, which had been dormant for tens of thousands of years, once again opened its heart to mortals.
Lothar walked into the sanctuary without hesitation, and the two mages behind looked at each other, and although their hearts were a little shaken, they followed.
This place discovered under the guidance of Bailu must have treasures buried, and even if it is dangerous, it cannot be easily given up.
The antechamber was empty, and after a pause, they walked down the corridor to the depths of the sanctuary.
Smack!
A wet and disgusting sound came from the feet of an archer.
"Vomit...... What the hell is this! β
The archers lowered their torches and looked closely, only to see that the ground was covered with a layer of black sludge.
If you look closely, the sludge is like a biological texture, and it is slowly flowing, as if it has life. The entire floor of the main hall of the sanctuary was covered with this black sludge.
Lothar was shocked: "It's actually filthy soil and black mud...... Unexpectedly, as soon as the long poem of calamity appeared, the omen of the natural disaster of the undead had already appeared. β
In the undead natural disaster, the silver moon is stained with blood, the black castle rises from the ground, the blood clan is overwhelming, and the dead walk on the earth, bringing countless death and fear to every continent. The greatest advantage of the undead army in attacking the realm of living beings, in addition to the almost inexhaustible source of troops, is also this special substance called filthy earth and black mud.
The land polluted by filthy soil and black mud will gradually convert all the free energy in the environment and soil into negative energy, which will become a rich nutrient for the undead to grow and reproduce.
In the undead natural disaster, these filthy black mud are like cancer spots on the skin, spreading rapidly, leaving permanent damage to every continent, although many continents finally extinguished the undead natural disaster, but the loss is too great, resulting in the inability to cope with the ensuing greater disasters, thus moving towards irreparable destruction.
Now the few people in the sanctuary, except for Lothar, no one knows what the filthy black mud is. They looked at the disgusting substance beneath their feet and wondered.
Suddenly, a gloomy wind swept through the hall, and a hoarse voice wafted through the empty hall: "My children, destroy these invaders. β
With a sound of internal organs wriggling, pale and rotting hands stretched out from the filthy black mud.
"They're getting up and ready to fight!" The male mage's face shook with fat.
The female mage next to her immediately took out a few holy waters from the dimensional pouch and threw them to several of her followers.
The followers smeared holy water on their weapons, and at the same time, their bodies flashed with magical aura. This is their master casting various buff spells. Of course, Lothar is not eligible for this treatment.
Soon, one after another low-level walking corpses filled the entire sanctuary main hall, leaving Lothar and his party surrounded by a heavy siege. At the same time, there are many more walking corpses struggling to get up from the filthy black mud and taste the fresh flesh and blood.
βfosοΌroοΌβ
The male mage was the first to strike. He chanted incantations, gestures changed, and threw out a silver drop-shaped energy that exploded in the crowd of walking corpses, blowing off the heads of three walking corpses.
A very common one-ring spell, a magic missile. It's just that the male mage uses the spell power specialty to cast this spell, so the power is increased a lot.
Compared with trainee mages, the social status of formal mages has greatly improved. And because it is condensed into a ring of laws, the fire is more stable and powerful, so you can learn various super magic specialties that increase the power and effect of spells. In terms of basic destructive power, Lothar's tricolor rays are stronger than magic missiles, but his strength is still not as good as the mage man and woman in front of him.
"Damn it, boy!" The male mage glared at Lothar, "You cast a spell for me!" If you dare to hold back and fight with all your might, I guarantee you will die under my staff before you are bitten to death by these filthy undead. β
Lothar didn't answer, just raised her hand and shot a tricolor ray.
A walking corpse with an ulcerated abdomen and most of its intestines out of it was immediately shattered into rotting pieces of flesh under the combined destruction of the three energies.
No prompts sounded, and no XP was credited.
Lothar sighed lightly and said to herself, "That's why I don't like to fight. β
In the Adren universe, each law contains many elements and has its bias. The law of the continent of Freiro is "war", which contains elements such as destruction, combat, violence, organization, and strategy. Therefore, if the mages on the continent do something that meets one of the elements of the laws of war, they can also obtain the power of the laws. This also leads to the fact that most of the mages in the Floro continent are very aggressive.
However, Lothar's law of fire is "knowledge", and its elements include civilization, creation, prosperity, wisdom, writing, and so on, and the bias towards the elements of battle, killing, and destruction is very large. So it's hard for him to become stronger by "fighting monsters and upgrading".
The last time he killed Lorenzo and Maleri in Stream, plus twenty heavily armed soldiers, he only gained 16 XP.
Therefore, Lothar felt that the useless battles were not worth the losses, and he tried to avoid them if he could.
Fighting monsters isn't the only way to level up. There are many more effective ways to earn XP.
