Chapter Seventy-Five: The Witch's Cottage
Witches' huts are generally off the beaten track, after all, the less remote huts have long been discovered by the spies of the major powers.
In fact, including the mercenary kingdom of the Free Federation, the major mercenary guilds, adventurers' guilds, professional guilds, and even the Nine-Ring Mage Council and major temples invariably send a large number of adventure squads, mercenary groups, and other teams to various inaccessible places to find various ruins every year.
Naturally, strategic buildings like the Witch's Hut that can improve the hero's abilities are the focus of attention.
And the ancient witches in the hut also have various restrictions on the visiting heroes, not only each witch will only teach a specific strategic skill, the average witch will quietly disappear after accepting the visit of about ten heroes, and the surroundings of the hut are shrouded in the forbidden martial arts enchantment, which makes the habit of the major forces like "chartering" completely ineffective.
Therefore, the major powers can only choose to spend a small price for adventurers and mercenaries to find those strategic structures that are in hidden places.
As for the various disputes caused by this, the leaders of the major forces will not care.
Just like this witch's hut that Roger just discovered, as long as he tells the news to the wealthy Nine-Ring Mage Tower, he can exchange it for a fortune that is enough for civilians to enjoy for a lifetime.
Therefore, many civilians and desperate poor people who are unwilling to die in the farmland have chosen to become adventurers or mercenaries, which is the reason why the mercenary kingdom can gradually rise, because people need a force that can stand out for adventurers and mercenaries, and the military background is the leader of the strongest mercenary group for generations, as the patron of the god of war, the royal family of Gelaru, who has always had a good reputation, is obviously a pretty good choice.
And the facts have proved this, the existence of the royal family of Gelaru makes the major forces dare not overly oppress adventurers and mercenaries, and the major temples are even more respectful to the royal family of Gelaru.
The terrifying appeal of the royal family of Gelaru among mercenaries and adventurers is still secondary, and the fact that its family has been the darling of the god of war for generations is the most headache for the major temples!
The major temples are well aware of what the name "God of War" represents.
It doesn't matter if the first combat power in the heavenly realm is there, the important thing is that the god of war is the first troublemaker in the heavenly realm! This is the most headache for the major gods......
No god would welcome the God of War to the door, even the Lord of the Forge, a friend of the God of War, since the God of War accidentally broke the Forge Lord's precious hammer, the Lord of the Forge almost took the Dwarf God Department and the God of War line to directly start the God War!
The darling of the god of war, no temple is really willing to provoke.
However, although the demonic calamity is approaching, the friction between the major forces is becoming more and more frequent.
Thinking of the attack of the dungeon forces on the elven border city, Roger suddenly sped up again.
The drow elves under the guidance of Queen Rose have always been known for their despicability and shamelessness, assassination and poisoning are commonplace, and although the weakly guarded Emerald City has an elemental legion, the lack of top-level troops has always been a big weakness......
When Roger, who had transformed into a golden-winged roc, arrived at the Castle of the Shadows, the sky was already white. This night of going back and forth really made Roger physically and mentally exhausted.
So Roger said hello to Tuna and Melina, and found a clean place to tidy up the strategic treasures that the Death Knight had given him last night, and it was time to rest.
Tuna and Melina, one is an elemental hero and the other is a high-level undead, who are busy ravaging the undead army at this time, and they didn't say anything when they saw Roger's tired face, but they were three points more ruthless.
Just in case, Tuna still recalled the two Hurricane Elemental and Sky Thunder Elemental Guardian Roger who were on guard in the air.
It seems that Tuna's guard is becoming more and more handy.
Although he knew that as the head of the Black Blade Knights, the death knight Geralt should have a lot of strategic treasures on his body. But to be honest, Roger was really taken aback when he turned over the strategic treasures that the Death Knight had given him.
"Strategic Treasure: The Cloak of the Forbidden Demon."
"Effect: High-level magic is disabled: Within the area of effect of the Forbidden Demon Cloak, all heroes and classes cannot use level 3-5 strategic magic."
"Low-level magic is king! Look at the punch! ”
"Strategic treasures; Fire Spirit Orb, one of the four elemental orbs. ”
"Effect: Fire Power: +50% of the hero's fire-based strategic magic power that carries this item."
"The four elements are the cornerstones of everything."
"Strategic Treasure: Mana Orb."
"Effect: Mana Regeneration: Restores an additional three points of your strategic mana every day."
"This artifact seems to be connected to a source of magical power."
"Strategic Treasure: The Book of Dark Magic."
"Effect: Dark Whisper: The hero equipped with this item is able to use all of the strategic magic described above."
"Ominous magic is constantly surging in it."
I have to say that what Death Knight Geralt gave is indeed very sincere, these strategic treasures may not be of much use to the Death Knight who advocates attack, and they are far less valuable than a creation star, but Roger is already very satisfied.
After all, without the sword of the Death Knight, he really didn't have the certainty to defeat that bone dragon, and if Grand Duke Josephine slipped away, it would all be in vain.
What's more, Roger was actually very suspicious of the authenticity of the two creation stars, after all, it was too easy to get them, and the attitude of the female vampire archduke was also very suspicious, so Roger directly kept the box containing the creation stars in the space column.
The space bar that comes with the system is not only large, but also the effect is also very practical, at least the things that others put in it don't want to get their hands on through space magic and other means.
Touching the dark magic book that he had just arrived, Roger was actually a little speechless, after all, he had only used the strategic magic scroll of the Dawn Church to blast it before.
Due to the conflict between the Holy Light and the power of darkness, it is obvious that the Light Strategic Magic Scroll and this Dark Magic Book cannot be carried at the same time, but compared to the dark magic book that cannot see the light, Roger still feels that it is better to carry the Light Strategic Magic Scroll.
So Roger put the dark magic book into the space bar, and instead took out the light strategic magic scroll and put it in his arms.
Without the suppression of the dark canopy, the light system strategic magic scroll can be used normally again. Although using the Light Strategy Magic Scroll costs double the strategic mana, and the dark magic in the Dark Magic Book only requires a normal level of consumption, Roger still prefers to carry the Light Strategy Magic Scroll.
After all, the Light Strategic Magic Scroll can also represent that the holder is a VIP of the Church of the Gods to some extent, and such a high-end strategic magic scroll is rarely available even in the Griffon Dynasty.
For the Church of Dawn, though, these strategic magic scrolls are nothing more than decorations.
Touching the light strategic magic scroll, Roger remembered the dark magic book, and suddenly started to think carefully: It is said that the heroes of the church above the bishop level all carry the light magic book, should we disguise themselves as necromancers to "borrow" a book for use?
Shaking his head, Roger counted the spoils of war from Archduke Josephine.
The things that were reserved for undead heroes were all in the space bar, and Roger was left with only a necklace and a cape.
"Strategic Treasure: Dragon's Tooth Necklace."
"Effect 1: Dragon's Mana: Hero mana with this item +3."
"Effect 2: Dragon's Voice: Increases movement speed, attack speed, and magic channel speed by 10% for all spell units under the hero equipped with this item."
"The strength of the dragon clan lies in its infinitely powerful dragon magic!"
"Strategic Treasure: Dragon's Wing Cloak."
"Effect 1: Dragon's Mana: Equip this item with Hero Knowledge +3."
"Effect 2: Dragon Soar: Increases movement speed and attack speed by 10% for all flying classes under the command of the hero equipped with this item."
"Dragons are the true overlords of the sky!"
Two pieces of equipment for the power of the dragon, shall I say that Archduke Josephine is a good man?
Roger looked at the two strategic treasures in his hand and shook his head, and put them on directly.
Suddenly, the three pieces of dragon power equipment that were equipped on Roger's body at the same time shimmered at the same time, and then gradually dimmed.
However, Roger could feel that the Hero's Credentials had been boosted.
"Dragon Power Set Effect: +1 for each of the four dimensions."
The Dragon's Power set is one of the top strategic treasure sets, and the effect is indeed very strong, and just three pieces of equipment have greatly improved Roger's heroic attributes.
However, Dragon Power is more inclined to the suit of war heroes, which is actually not very suitable for Roger.
This made Roger a little yearning for those French hero suits.
But now is clearly not the time for daydreaming.
Calming down, Roger walked towards the undead army in the distance, and directly cast the qi strategic magic chain lightning.
The lightning that fell from the sky brought the skeletons and zombies and ghouls into the attack, and the undead who were struck by the chain lightning suddenly fell in large swaths. Some of the undead on the verge of a magical attack did not fall in this chain of lightning, so they immediately attacked Roger's counter-attack.
If only there were no large groups of "kinds" in front of them to get in the way.
The unlucky ones who were blocked by the other undead who were not attacked suddenly became embarrassed, but all they could think of without brains was to draw their swords and face each other.
So the undead troops were even more chaotic.
The brainless undead are really quite easy to bully. Roger sighed in his heart, but the movements in his hands did not stop at all, and he cast a chain of lightning again and again.
After taking care of the few undead who were in a mess, Roger began to focus on attacking the stronger undead.
With the increase in strength, there must be some awakened undead troops in this massive undead army, which is certainly not a good thing for Roger and his party, after all, high-level undead have enough control over low-level undead.
Undead with such tendencies are usually directly controlled by undead heroes, but now that Archduke Josephine has disappeared, these elite undead are of course out of control.
However, these undead will definitely have a period of confusion after they have just lost the direct control of the undead heroes, and if they can be eliminated a little more now, it will be more effortless later.
After all, the number of undead is too much, and by the time Roger and Tuna and his party have eliminated all the undead, it will be almost night.
After hastily cleaning up, Roger and Tuna completely demolished most of the buildings in the Castle of the Shadows, and then set out on the way home with the air elemental troops and Melina.
