After Comrade Akinhan, the "Captain Turtle", took the lead in clearing the path of death composed of the Titan Golem Group, it really proved that the plan that Gordon took the lead in formulating and the other two mages completed together was indeed feasible. Trapped in a small corner, the adventurers who had not eaten and slept well for nearly two days finally took action as if they had been injected with stimulants.

The red-haired female mage, who was anxious to join her fiancé, immediately set off after seeing that Ajinhan was safe and sound. Members of the same adventuring group as the couple followed closely.

Then there's Gordon and Sigrid.

After that, other adventurers also took a step. Except for a few adventurers who were overly cautious and wanted to wait and see, no one wanted to stay in that damn corner anymore.

As he navigated the mountain of stone made of the Titan Golem's broken body, Gordon held the Nether Staff and the Activation Shield by his side. And Sigrid's knight's sword has long been unsheathed. Other adventurers may have thought that they were just preparing for the accidental deviation of the route and triggering the Titan Golem's ruining ray. But the real object of the two people's defense is those gray dwarves.

When using summoned creatures to explore the path, Gordon kept an eye on the movements of the twelve gray dwarves at all times. These gray-skinned dwarves had already developed a lot of doubts about Gordon's identity, and the reason why they didn't do it immediately was because they needed to rely on three mages to find a way out of this hellish place.

The Grey Dwarves are evil in nature, and they are not the kind of law-abiding citizens who have 100% solid evidence before they act. Even if they weren't 100% sure that Gordon was the one who killed their companions, they would still have done it.

Gordon noticed it several times. The gray dwarves, especially the leader of Travok, looked at themselves and Sigrid with malicious eyes. So he's got to be ready.

These twelve grey dwarves are one of many expeditions sent to the Mighty Hills.

A mercenary group of three hundred. Of course, it is impossible to huddle together and swarm into the ruins to explore. Divide the mercenary group into an exploration team of about ten people, and each exploration team is equipped with a team member who has mastered the ability of the Heart of the Earth, and then explore separately, and the efficiency can be improved a lot.

The twelve-man Grey Dwarf expedition that met Gordon consisted of six warriors and four rock guards armed with steel crossbows. There are also two rune mages, and the class configuration is quite balanced, and the strength is not bad. The leader Travok was a ninth-level warrior, and if he was hit by the two-handed warhammer he wielded, not many people would survive.

The adventurers lined up in a long line, moving forward cautiously and with great caution. It took quite a bit of time. Finally, I passed through the most dangerous area without danger and left the Titan Golem Factory.

"I didn't expect that just walking would be so mentally and physically draining." The red-haired female mage, who broke out in a cold sweat because of nervousness, leaned close to her fiancé's side, gasping for breath, as if she was tired enough.

Rufa didn't look much better. He tried to adjust his breathing as much as he could, and his eyes wandered over Gordon and the female druid beside him not far away. He feared that when he was in a state of fatigue, Gordon would suddenly attack. Rescue Venia.

And Gordon's body is much stronger than the other two mages, and he has just walked out of the Titan Golem Factory. Begin to look at your surroundings.

He remembered that according to the structural diagram of the floating city given to him by the God of Knowledge, outside the Titan Golem factory was an avenue paved with tracks and thirty meters wide. This is a road specially built to transport the finished Titan Golem of the Emperor level. On both sides of the road are the towers where the high-level magicians who make the Zuò Titan Golem rest, a total of ten towers. In addition to this, there are many warehouses for storing raw materials for golems.

This huge space is actually an industrial and living park for the production of Titan Golems.

But because of that short but powerful earthquake, the entire terrain has been changed beyond recognition.

Now beneath the feet of the Gordons, the dome of the entire park, has been torn apart, forming many large, deep new caverns. However, no one knows where these caves lead, and Gordon, who wants to go up and reach the entire core of the Floating City, obviously will not enter these caves.

Overhead, the buildings that were originally built on the ground have all collapsed and been destroyed by gravity due to the inversion of the upper and lower positions. Only ten towers appear to be complete because they are a structure that connects the ground and the dome throughout the space. However, the earthquake also caused considerable structural damage to the towers. Seeing the cracks in the outer walls, I'm afraid no one wants to venture in.

"It seems that you can only use flying skills to fly up, and then find a way to open the rock formations." Gordon drew up a plan for the next step forward.

But before leaving, it seems that the problem of the gray dwarves must be solved first.

Because just as he looked up at the crumbling towers, the gray dwarves attacked.

"I have been a vassal race of dark elves for thousands of years, and I haven't learned anything else, but I have mastered the means of sneaking up on the black hands behind my back." Gordon sneered, and his consciousness slid to the side of the activated shield, blocking the crossbow arrows fired by the four gray dwarf rock guards.

The steel arrowhead collided with the shield's pure gold surface, and golden sparks bloomed, lighting up the dark environment in an instant. Before the eyes of the adventurers around him could adjust to the drastic change from darkness to light, Gordon launched a counterattack.

Gordon's right hand holds the staff and points far forward, and his left hand moves rapidly, guiding the mana to gather, which is then converted into arcane energy with force field attributes. The rapid chanting of the dragon sounded to the ears of the other adventurers around him, like a fleeting thunderclap. It was at this almost unimaginable speed that Gordon completed his signature spell: Gordon. Freeman's Missile Storm.

After a long period of practice, improvement, and continuous tempering of the guidance and control of arcane energy, this self-created spell is no longer more powerful than it used to be. The mana cost of using a Missile Storm has been increased from 20 to 30. However, the killing effect has been increased by more than three times.

Today's Missile Storm can unleash thirty magic missiles at a time. Every magic missile. The destructive power is the same as that of the powerful feats of the guò spells, and the magic missiles that are cast.

The power of this spell is already comparable to that of the top-notch six-ring plastic energy spell. At the beginning, with the mentality of experimenting and exploring the way, the spell invented has been tempered by Gordon's increasingly mellow arcane attainments, and has become a complete body. So. Gordon removed the word "primary" from the previous spell name.

Later, with the further deepening of the understanding of the theory of magic. As well as the continuous improvement of his own arcane attainments, this spell can also be further strengthened, and it is named "high" and "ultimate".

Thirty teardrop-shaped bolts of force field energy poured out from Gordon's fingertips, and then quickly dispersed. In the dark. This scene is in the eyes of others. It was as if a galaxy flowed out of Gordon's fingertips, and then a small starry sky was constructed.

The silver energy continued to hit the target, and the creepy muffled sounds and screams continued to sound in the darkness.

Gordon has the ability to see dimly from the Inheritor of Blood, while Sigrid, as an Yaling, also has a racial gift for vision. And the gray dwarves, as a race that has lived in the underground world for a long time, have long been accustomed to the darkness.

However, other adventurers are not used to the current situation. In the ancient ruins of this mountain. Whether it's on the road or when you encounter an enemy. It is only in the light that they feel at ease.

When the six gray dwarves were killed by the Missile Storm, the other adventurers finally reacted. Their first action is to re-illuminate their surroundings by means of a possible means. In the Golem Factory just now, in order to reduce the probability of being locked by the terrifying eyes of the Titan Golem's head, the adventurers didn't even dare to light the torches.

The adventurers gasped at the sight of the six gray dwarf corpses lying in a pool of blood on the ground. Unexpectedly, just a battle between lightning and flint, this powerful gray dwarf team lost half of its manpower at once.

A "sneer" with contempt erupted from the corner of Rufa's mouth, holding the female druid and Alva hostage and quickly away from the crowd.

"A stubborn brain as a stone, combined with a sinister and vicious mind, is simply the worst combination...... As soon as these gray dwarves got out of trouble, they couldn't wait to launch an attack on Gordon, what a bunch of bad guys. It seems that it would be better for me to go it alone. Although you can get a lot of convenience from being with these gray dwarves, you can also get into a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”

The combination of Rufa and the gray dwarf was originally to use each other. He was not obligated to help these grey-skinned dwarfs and make enemies of Gordon. He felt that although Gordon was inferior to himself, he was also a smart person who would judge the situation and would not rashly become an enemy of himself just because of a mere aboriginal matriarch.

Another reason why Rufa did not dare to act rashly was the missile storm that Gordon had just now.

Rufa didn't know that Gordon had the ability to cast spells quickly, and thought that he had just used the ability to instantaneously cast spells, so that he could complete spells in the blink of an eye. Whether it is done by relying on one's own strength, or relying on props or other methods to trick up, a mage who can instantly use the Six Rings spell is definitely not to be underestimated.

After secretly assessing it, Rufa felt that he did not have an advantage in the comparison of strength with Gordon, so he finally chose to sit on the sidelines.

Initially, the Grey Dwarf Rock Sentinel's crossbow bolts sneaked up, and then Gordon's Missile Storm counterattacked, and the first round of confrontation between the two sides took only three or four seconds. At this time, the adventurers, who lit up the torches and illuminated the surroundings in orange, saw that their clothes and armor were suddenly covered with a layer of blue.

The light source came from the sword in Sigrid's hand.

Yaling's swordsmithing skills were far less famous than their swordsmanship and magic, not only did they not compare to the dwarves, but they also fell short of their relatives and elves. However, with the unique advantages of the race, Yaling is able to create weapons with a high affinity for energy. Such a weapon may be mediocre in the hands of other races, but in the hands of Yaling, it can exert great power.

The female knight is able to switch between water and fire, and the sword she holds is also able to switch between water and fire.

Today, the name of the sword in her hand is "The Light of Sara Lake". Because the "water" part of this sword is in the sacred lake of Yaling in the Great Wilderness, Lake Sarah. Cast in the morning when the first rays of sunlight are cast.

At this time, the adventurers around. I could just feel the dampness and moisture brought by the blue light emitted from the sword's body, like the smell of a wetland by a lake. And the leader of the gray dwarves, holding the hammer high and facing the sword of the female knight head-on, is a different feeling.

Travok felt that as soon as the blade of the opponent's sword made contact with his own warhammer, a strange force surged along the hilt.

Pervasive and ubiquitous.

The gray dwarf leader shook his arms. It was not easy to separate from the female knight. He looked at the woman in disbelief, whose arm was only half the thickness of his own. The gray dwarf thought that this beautiful woman was just a plaything that the mage brought with him in order to relieve his loneliness, but he didn't expect it. The strength of the other side is so strong.

Just one fight made the gray dwarf leader Trawalk's arms sore, and his bulging muscles began to tremble, as if he could no longer hold the weapon in his hand.

He felt as if he was fighting an army of horses.

"Runemage. Hurry up! What are you guys still grinding about! "A sense of crisis welled up in my heart. Let TraWalker shout in spite of it. At the same time, he added: "All the people who helped me kill this mage, I will give him three hundred gold coins." Kill him with your own hands, give a thousand gold coins! ”

As soon as he made his move, half of the team was blown up by a missile storm from Gordon. Such an unfavorable situation made TraWalker feel very bad. However, as the leader of this gray dwarf exploration team, and a veteran warrior who had roamed the deceitful underground world, he knew how to take advantage of the advantages that Yiqiē could use. to defeat the enemy and achieve the goal.

Hear Travok's promise in money. Most of the onlookers had greed in their eyes.

Such an opportunity to make a lot of money is rare.

Most of these adventurers who wander around the Yellow Zone have some strength, but they also don't have the ability to explore deeper areas. They came to Mount Waisula with no lofty goals, just to make a fortune. It doesn't matter if the way to make a fortune is to find treasure from the ruins or from the corpses of other adventurers.

With the lure of a lot of money and no moral constraints, helping the Grey Dwarves kill Gordon seems to have become a matter of course.

The adventurers who drew their weapons one after another and surrounded Gordon and Sigrid with bad intentions may have forgotten who actively proposed and analyzed the countermeasures to bring them out of the Golem Factory.

However, Gordon, who seemed to have taken a sharp turn and was already deeply surrounded, did not show a panicked look. He looked around, the corners of his mouth twitching: "It's just a bunch of humanoid experience points...... Sigrid, deal with the two rune mages first! ”

Although she didn't know what the experience points were, the female knight still heard the second half of Gordon's words clearly. She immediately rushed towards her target, so fast that Gordon only felt a breeze with the scent of a girl's body blowing around her.

The remaining six gray dwarves, including the leader Travok, and four warriors, stood in front of them, firmly protecting the two rune mages behind them.

However, the two casters who are under heavy protection have never played a role.

Unlike races such as humans and elves, the dwarven race seems to be insulated from the arcane since the moment it was born.

For centuries, no one had ever heard of or encountered a dwarven mage, and there was no record of a dwarven mage in the history books. It wasn't until the year 103 of the Fourth Age, the year of what astrologers called the Rock Language, that the dwarves suddenly acquired the talent to use the arcane. Some say it was a blessing from Moradin, the main god of the dwarves, while others say it was the result of joint research by several dwarven kings. While the secret is so well preserved that there are many theories, one fact remains the same: since the year 103 of the Fourth Age, newborns in the dwarven race have a certain chance of possessing arcane talents.

It's just that because of the racial conditions, the dwarf mage is quite different from the mages of other races.

Mages like Rufa and Garina prepare spells by touching the magic net, extracting energy, and storing it in their bodies. When casting a spell, you only need to channel the arcane energy in your body, and then use guò spells and gestures to mold the spell you need.

However, this is not something that the dwarves can do. They had to resort to a stone with magical powers, runes, carved with runes on it. to store the energy extracted from the magic web. When it's time to cast a spell, they extract the energy from the runes.

Therefore, dwarven mages are also called rune mages.

Dwarves are an excellent race with intelligence. After they acquired the ability to use arcane arts, they soon began to improve their unique rune casting system. Rune mages have discovered that with a specific combination of runes, inscribed on the rune stone, they can further shape the original arcane energy extracted from the Demon King.

Therefore. At the time of casting, the rune mage is able to extract half-finished spells from runes, greatly simplifying the process of using gestures and spells to complete spells.

Also because of the simplification of the cast gesture. Coupled with the dwarves' already strong bodies, rune mages can wear heavy armor without worrying about the pressure of heavy equipment that will affect the complex and precise gestures when casting spells. Thus leading to the failure of the spell.

In battle. A rune mage wearing heavy armor with amazing protection is certainly more powerful than an ordinary mage wearing only a cloth robe.

However, rune mages are not without their drawbacks.

Because the rune stone is used instead of itself to prepare the spell, there is an additional step in the energy conversion process of casting the spell. The arcane energy of ordinary mages is always circulating in their bodies, while rune mages need to extract energy from runes. And such a foreign object as a runestone. After all, it is not as reliable as your own body.

Relies on rune stones to cast spells, although the casting process is simplified. However, it complicates the energy circulation, and in general, the casting speed of rune mages is often inferior to that of ordinary mages. In addition, when the rune mage casts a spell, he not only has to prepare the casting materials, but also prepares a corresponding rune stone, and the logistical pressure is greatly increased.

The kind of rune mage who travels around with a bag of hemp on his back is not uncommon.

At this time, the reason why the two gray dwarf rune mages who fought with Gordon and Sigrid did not complete their spells for a long time was because their casting speed was relatively slow, especially compared to Gordon, who had mastered the rapid casting of Akhorsia, it was as slow as a turtle.

In addition, in the ruins of Mount Wesula, the remnants of the magic influence of various Netherduran Magic Empires have made the characteristics of the runes unstable. Runemages have more trouble extracting arcane energy from these round gray stones than usual.

Even when the gray dwarf leader Travok yelled at his two rune mages, the two guys were half a beat slower to complete the spell.

At this time, the female knight had already jumped high and was about to cross the defense line of four dwarven warriors, and with the sword in her hand, she killed the two most threatening spellcasters of the enemy.

Originally, according to Travok's meaning, the most tricky Gordon should be killed first. The opponent is a mage who can use a wide area of destruction spells, so it is natural that he should be the primary target.

However, seeing Sigrid coming from mid-air, the two rune mages changed their minds in order to save their lives.

They turned their spell target into this blue-haired, sea-shining female knight.

The ground began to shake slightly, and the magic guided dozens of rock spikes to grow in an instant, and then stabbed at Sigrid.

The female knight in mid-air was unable to change direction, and still maintained her downward momentum, seeing that she was about to be pierced by the rock spikes made by the rune mage.

It seems that the only factor that can determine Sigrid's life and death now is whether the phoenix armor on her body can withstand those magically strengthened rock spikes.

"Do you want the knight's retinue to die to buy yourself time to cast spells?" As a bystander, Rufa thought that he could see through Gordon's intentions at a glance, "It seems that Gordon is not a good person who takes care of his companions as you think." Rufa said, glancing at the female druid beside him.

But the mage had clearly made the mistake of treating others with his own lives.

Just as Sigrid was about to be struck by the rock spikes, Gordon summoned four huge golems covered in cold air to deal with the adventurers who had taken refuge in the gray dwarves for money. Then he shot a yellow light from his left hand, hitting the spiked jungle created by the rune mage.

Those indestructible rock spikes, under the effect of the spell, began to bend, blunt, and close at the fastest speed, and finally formed a stone bridge built in the sky.

Sigrid, on the other hand, stepped on the stone bridge that Gordon had built for her, walked a few quick steps, and then swooped down, the sword in her hand dancing a blue halo around her, enveloping both rune mages.

When the beautiful Yaling landed in the lightest posture, behind her, there were only two corpses whose necks had been cut, and she collapsed to the ground. (To be continued......)
