The procession entered the rotunda through the tunnel entrance.

Zhang Ze, who had already been through once, was haunted by his dreams, and he didn't need Charles's order to start chanting spells at the door, aiming at the big goblin zombies who were nailed to the wall with spears, and throwing a ring of spells one after another.

"Boom"

"Boom"

Zhang Ze used a [Magic Missile] spell. After he reaches level four, counting the extra spell slots of the supernatural intelligence attribute, there should be 4 to 5 spell slots in the first ring.

Therefore, the dead friend repeatedly recorded the spell of [Magic Missile], and Charles felt that it was normal. Because this spell increases with the casting level, there is an extra missile for every 2 levels, which is extremely cost-effective. Now two missiles in a row bombard the goblin zombie, instantly knocking out the monster's 16 health.

Then, it's time for the sorcerer's [Magic Energy Explosion].

The dark energy projectile blew half of the goblin zombie's body into a blur of flesh and blood. The monster roared in rage, drew its spear in its chest, and leapt to the ground.

"Up—"

Charles and An Ying rushed forward at the same time, each giving the goblin zombie a hard blow, and finally Anya took away the elite monster with a [Electric Claw].

The remaining three or two ordinary zombies were all eliminated by the female wanderer. She almost turned into an afterimage, wandering the rotundale, her twin daggers stabbing at the zombie's deadly location.

The battle was over as soon as it began.

"You go to the entrance of the passage and wait for me first." At the end of the battle, Charles stuffed Zhang Ze with a bottle of holy water that shone with a faint milky white light, "The ghost in the passage, use this to deal with it, and the ghost will die as soon as you splash it." ”

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Ze asked the whole team about their doubts.

"I went to the toilet, I held it for a long time, and the connection system was warned." Charles shrugged.

"Okay......" Zhang Ze always felt that his friend's behavior was unusual, but he couldn't think of a reason for it for a while.

"Everybody come with me."

Zhang Ze greeted the Ann sisters. The sorcerer and the female wanderer glanced at Charles with a meaningful gaze, and then followed.

After the figure disappeared into the passage, Charles walked to the wall of the iron gate, took out the emblem, and aimed it at the wall with the dragon rune "Asharond" written on it, and cast the 'Detect Secret Door' spell from a list of spells in the knowledge realm.

A faint, half-human-high ghost door suddenly appeared at the location of the rune.

Charles replaced the Holy Emblem with a Flame Gauntlet Sword, his eyes lit up vigilantly, and he lowered his body and moved into the Ghost Gate step by step.

He was relieved by the sight inside the door.

This is a study room with a size of twenty or thirty square meters, and the shelves and desks stacked with brick books can be seen in an unobstructed view. There are no monsters.

The owner of the study was clearly a mage, and an evil mage, hiding the dark aura that lingered in the room, making Charles frown secretly. He was a cleric and was especially disgusted by the smell of necromancy.

"Purify!"

Charles first cautiously threw a 'Detect Magic' spell around him, and when he saw that there were no magic traps, he continued to hold the emblem and chanted the spell of the 'Dispel the Undead' ability.

A dispel spell was thrown, and the room was empty. Charles took a deep breath of clean air, and the irritability in his heart faded.

"This should be the necromantic aura that naturally emanates from that mage......"

"It's strong, at least exemplary."

"Maybe it's an advanced class of necromancy."

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Charles became more cautious. Fa Ye is a group of perverts, he used to be one of them, of course he knows that Fa Ye wants a yin person, it is as simple as eating and drinking.

If you accidentally come across a book that hides a trap, you will either get a terrible disease because of a trace of toxin, or you will be chopped into meat sauce by the sudden appearance of otherworldly creatures.

These are still light, if the hidden banishment spell is transmitted to some strange plane, and the soul leaves the material continent, Charles knows that he may not be able to return when he loses his underwear.

A mage's study is no less dangerous than entering a high-level dungeon.

Charles paused three times and slowly moved to his desk.

A spread notebook on the table caught his eye. It seems that the necromancer has a habit of keeping a diary, and spreads out the page and writes something in exactly the arcane script.

With an attitude of experimentation, Charles throws a 'reading magic' at the diary. The next thing he was pleasantly surprised was that he passed the reading test.

The distorted arcane script, arranged and combined into the continental lingua franca in his eyes, reads:

“…… Could this not be the protection of my lord Orcas? ”

"I'm going to go to Mashan Cypress right away. Exact news from a friend of the Night Mask tells me that a wealthy merchant in Mazar has a Stone of Ionn in his possession......"

"Oh my God, that's the Stone of Ion, the relic of the great Netheriel. It must be the patronage of my lord Orcas, I just got the first Stone of Ionne from the nobles of the winery, and then there is news of the second......"

Seeing this, Charles inhaled sharply.

He suddenly thought of the black stone he had obtained in the Ice Room Treasure Chest after the first visit to the Haunted Winery.

"The Stone of Ion?" Charles didn't care so much about it, the mage left in a hurry, and probably didn't have time to set traps in the study. He directly picked up the mage's notes and flipped through them carefully.

At first glance, Charles can say that this is a diary of depravity.

The journal's owner, Duru, was once the archetypal mage of the mysterious lady Mistra. Unfortunately, because he accidentally obtained the necromancy book, he was attracted by the spells that controlled death, and turned into a powerful Pale Lord.

The Haunted Winery movement was made by him.

The original owner of the winery, a nobleman from Susar, was killed by him, and he snatched his soul and transformed it into an ice demon through an evil ritual of sacrifice.

The undead creatures in the ice chamber were also made by him from the remains of farmers he hunted.

"May Orcasus continue to shelter me."

"The stone was placed in the ice room by me, and it was guarded by my dear darling darling, and no one could take it. I hope this trip to Mashan cypress will have a smooth journey......"

This is the latest in the note.

As soon as Charles finished reading this line, the task panel automatically popped up in front of him. The intelligence gathering mission promulgated by the old mage Hayzi has a new description:

"The Stone of Ion? It's funny, people all over the world are looking for this kind of curiosity. You can choose to give this notebook to Haysz and have him submit it to the Royal Mages Society, or you can ......"

This description is gone, and some of it is vague. Charles, however, read the system's malice. There is no doubt that if he gives the note to the Royal Mage Guild, then the Stone of Ionn in his hand will also be handed over obediently. In Susar, there is no one to stand up to the royal mage.

But obviously, this notebook is a prop to complete the task, and you can't leave it in, so ......

With a flash of his eyes, Charles tore off all the pages of the "Stone of Ion", then lit the oil lamp on the tabletop and placed the pages on the flame, which soon became a puddle of black ash.

The mission description has been changed again:

"You made a wise choice. Don't worry that the royal mage will find traces of tearing. Hand over the mutilated notes to Haysz. ”

"[Gathering Intelligence—Demon Lord Orcas] (Completed)."

Glancing at the quest panel, Charles didn't leave the mage's study immediately.

Even the most important notes were left on the table, and no traps were set, indicating that the Pale Lord Druux had indeed left in a hurry.

So Charles let go of a hanging heart and began to scavenge!

The first is the books on the shelves.

The books in Dawn are divided into ordinary books, intellectual books, and magic books.

Regular books are of little use, and players may only get one or two useful pieces of information after reading them throughout. Unlike knowledge-based books, the corresponding books can increase the corresponding knowledge. For example, religious books increase religious knowledge, and history books increase historical knowledge.

Magic books, on the other hand, often record the experiences of a powerful spellcaster. It may have some information about supermagic specialties, information on improved spells, or a complete spell model that the player caster can learn after reading it.

Naturally, the ordinary books Charles threw them all out.

Charles got his hands on more than a dozen books of knowledge and two books of magic.

"Almost."

Finding no equipment to use, and walking to the ghost door with some regret, Charles' eyes finally swept around the study, and his right foot had already stepped out, but it was suddenly retracted.

He forgot to search the back of the door, and Charles found the shadow of the faint clothing.

Pulling open the heavy wooden door that was attached to the wall by magnets, a cloak hanging from the door nail caught Charles' eye.

The cloak is pure black, made of smooth silk, and the shading is twisted small snakes, which looks a little weird in style.

The first time Charles saw the cloak, his heart jumped. It's an absolute treasure!

Armed with it, Charles threw a "learned" skill at the cloak.

"...... in the 'Knowledge' Test"

"Failed to activate the skill."

Sure enough, it was a high-end product, and he actually failed to identify it. This means that the quality of the item must surpass that of green Fine, and it is most likely a good piece of blue equipment.

"Take it back and find the NPC for identification."

Charles tucked his cloak into his backpack. This is a windfall. Perhaps it was the Pale Lord Druu who forgot to take the cloak with him before leaving the study in a hurry.

Walking out of the study, the ghost door disappeared automatically, and the "Asha Lund" dragon spell on the wall also disappeared.

"One-time hidden mission?" Charles raised an eyebrow. The disappearance of the text on the wall shows that the next plot line of 'Haunted Winery' is unique, and it depends on which player is as careful as a hair and discovers it first.

Unfortunately, Charles is the same player, and the others have no chance.

Follow the passage behind the iron gate to the ice room.

The huge underground space covering an area of more than a dozen acres was filled with fierce battle sounds. Charles sped up and rushed into the ice room, and sure enough, he saw that several of his teammates had already opened up the monster and were besieging the embodied ice demon on the evil altar.

He didn't hesitate, holding the wooden emblem and chanting the dispel spell.
